I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through ev´ry day
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is, it makes the world go ´round
Love and only love, it can´t be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just won´t be able to do without it
Take a tip from one who´s tried

So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, don´t let it stray
For one thing that´s certain
You will surely be a-hurtin´
If you throw it all away
