Once I had a love so sweet, I remember -
She's follow me to the ends of the earth -
                        & 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 - & I let her
Once I had a love so sweet, I remember -
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth -
                        & I'd let her

And every day was like a picture book
The look of love was in her eyes -
                        & how she'd look -
                          But me, I just took

A fellow traveller with nothing planned
Save loving me the way I am
Expecting nothing in return -
                        Through her I got to learn

Too late for me to see - I measured out my destiny
Too late for me to know and where I lost her -
                        I don't know

Once I had a love so sweet, I remember
She'd follow me to the ends of the earth -
                        & I let her -
            Yes I let her - let her slip away
