Shirley Horn, Once I Loved [o Amor En Paz] download mp3

An extremely soft, sensitive and moving song about lost love. An all-time favourite. For some reason, the atmosphere it creates, is (although completely different genre) strongly reminiscent of Joy Division's Atmosphere.



Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away


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
