Damien Rice - Once I Loved 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 and proud And let you say goodbye Then one day From my infinite sadness you came And brought me love again Now, now I know That no matter whatever befalls I'll never let you go I will hold you close, night and day Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away Now I know That no matter whatever befalls I'll never let you go I will hold you close, I'll make you stay Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away Love is the saddest thing when it goes away The saddest thing when it goes away
