Once I Loved
( Amor e Paz )
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 . . .
