Once I Loved

Once, I loved And I gave so much love to this love You were the world to me Once, I cried At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye Then one day In 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 Then one day In 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 Here you'll stay Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away Yes love is the saddest thing when it goes away --- Once I Loved - Dianne Reeves
