I once held her in my arms   She said she would always stay   I must have been mad   I never knew what I had      I threw it all away   I threw it all away      Once I had mountains   In the palm of my hand   And rivers that ran   Through every day      But what would I do?   I'd let it slip through   I threw it all away   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 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      One thing for sure   There ain't no cure   If you throw it all away   If you throw it all away
