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
And 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, night and day
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
And then, one day
In 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
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, make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
'Cause love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Written by: Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes
