Once I Loved - Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Pass

Once, 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 what ever 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
