Once I Loved

Ella Fitzgerald

One 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

And 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 sad, saddest thing
When it goes away

And 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 sad, saddest thing
When it goes away
