ONCE I LOVED (Antonio Carlos Jobim e Vinicius de Moraes) 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 Then one day From my infinite sadness you came And brought me love again Now I know That no matter whatever befalls I'll let you go I will hold you close Make you stay Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away
