Once I Loved - Shirley Horn
Once, 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
And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls
I'll never let you go
I will hold you close night and day
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away
And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
and brought me love again
Make you stay
Because
love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away.
