Perry Como - Once I Loved lyrics

Once I loved . . . And I gave so much love to this love It was the world to me! Once I cried . . . At the thought I was foolish an' proud And let you say goodbye! Then, one day . . . From my infinite sadness you came And brought me love again! Now I know . . . That no matter whatever befalls I'll never let you go! I will hold you close . . . make you stay Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away . . . . . . love is the saddest thing When it goes away . . . < instrumental break > I will hold you close . . . make you stay Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away . . . . . . love is the saddest thing When it goes away . . . . . . when it goes away . . .
