Lyrics
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 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
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
Written by: Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes
