Herbie Hancock/Shirley Horn Once I Loved Lyrics

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 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
