Once I Loved lyrics
 by Perry Como
		
		
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 . .
