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

I once had mountains
In the palm of my hand
Rivers that ran through every day
But I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Till I threw it all away

'Cause love is all there is
And it makes the world go round
Love and nothing else
It cannot be denied
Doesn't matter what you think about it
You won't be able to live without it
Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone
Who gives you all of their love
Take it to your heart
Don't let it stray
'Cause one things for certain
You will surely be hurting
If you throw it all away
Just don't throw it all away
