Once I Loved
Eternal Love Rediscovered: Ella Fitzgerald's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
One I loved
Expressing affection towards someone who was once loved.
And I gave so much love to this love
Highlighting the significant effort and devotion given to this love.
It was the world to me
Describing the immense importance of this love, considering it as the whole world.
Once I cried
Recalling a moment of emotional pain and vulnerability.
At the thought I was foolish and proud
Reflecting on past mistakes of being prideful and foolish.
And let you say goodbye
Regretting the decision to let the person say goodbye.
And one day
Describing a turning point where someone new entered the life, bringing love.
From my infinite sadness you came
Expressing that this new love emerged from a state of profound sadness.
And brought me love again
Acknowledging the arrival of love again through the new person.
Now I know
Expressing the realization that regardless of challenges, the commitment to the new love is firm.
That no matter whatever befalls
Affirming the decision to never let go, irrespective of circumstances.
I'll never let you go
Emphasizing the determination to hold onto the new love.
I will hold you close
Declaring the intention to keep the person close and make them stay.
Make you stay

Because love is the saddest thing
Reflecting on the bittersweet nature of love, especially when it fades away.
When it goes away
Highlighting the sadness associated with the departure of love.
Love is the sad, saddest thing
Reiterating the sorrowful nature of love when it comes to an end.
When it goes away
Emphasizing the emotional pain caused by the loss of love.
And one day
Recalling the arrival of new love from a place of profound sadness.
From my infinite sadness you came
Repeating the theme of finding love again after a period of infinite sadness.
And brought me love again
Acknowledging the positive impact of the new love that entered the life.
Now I know
Reiterating the commitment to the new love regardless of challenges.
That no matter whatever befalls

I'll never let you go
Expressing the unwavering commitment to the new love, no matter what happens.
I will hold you close
