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.
 If you throw it all  away.
