Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I'd let her
And everyday was like a fairy tale
Cuts me up inside to think how I failed
I see now so well
She gave me everything she had
For the better
Gave me the key to her soul
And I let her
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
And every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked
But me, I just took, I just took
A fellow traveler with nothing planned
Still loving me the way I am
Expecting nothing in return
And through her I got to learn
Too late for me to see
I measured out my destiny
Too late for me to know
Where I lost her, I don't know
Every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes and how she'd looked
But me, I just took, I just took
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
Once I had a love, so sweet
I remember
Follow me to the ends of the earth
And I let her
Yes, I let her, I let her slip away
(Once I had a love, so sweet)
(I remember)
Let her slip away
(Follow me to the ends of the earth)
(And I let her)
