Once I Loved

Dianne Reeves · When You Know [2008]

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

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, here you'll stay

Because love is the saddest thing

When it goes away



Then one day

In my infinite sadness you came

And brought me love again



Now, now I know

That no matter whatever befalls

I'll never let you go



I will hold you close, here you'll stay

Because love is the saddest thing

When it goes away



Yes, love is the saddest thing

When it goes away

Don't go away
