I Threw It All Away

Lyrics

I once held her in my arms

She said she would always stay

But I was cruel

And 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 every day

But 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

'Cause one thing for certain

You will surely be hurtin'

If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away
