Frank Sinatra — Once I Loved (O Amor En Paz) lyrics

(A.C. Jobim, R. Gilmbel, V. De Moraes)

[Recorded Febrary 1, 1967, Hollywood]

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
