Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I loved
And I gave so much love to this love
It was the world to me
[Verse 2]
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud
And let you say goodbye
[Verse 3]
Then one day
From my infinite sadness you came
And brought me love again
[Verse 4]
Now I know
That no matter whatever befalls
I'll never let you go
[Verse 5]
I will hold you close
Night and day
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
[Verse 6]
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away
[Verse 7]
Because love is the saddest thing
When it goes away, goes away
Written by: Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes
