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.
