How insensitive I must have seemed When she told me that she loved me How unmoved and cold I must have seemed When she told me so sincerely How she must have asked Did I just turn and stare in icy silence? What was I to say What can you say When a love affair is over 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 And 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, make you stay Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away Porque o amor é a coisa mais triste quando se desfaz Love is the saddest thing When it goes away When it goes away
