I Once Knew Love

(Christopher Van Name)

Better to have known love and lost it, than to have never known love at all. For Julian.

I once knew love 
I had it all
It’s sweet caress 
It’s willingness 
To catch me, should I fall 
Love was always there 

I once knew love 
I knew it well 
The ecstasy 
The agony 
Sometimes it’s hard to tell 
Loves not always fair 

I tried so hard
To just hold on 
But love us known 
For letting go
And never letting on 
When it’s in despair 

Like the summer rain
Love comes and goes 
No one knows 
How long love will stay 
And there comes a time 
When lovers know 
It’s over 
And there’s nothing left to say 
There’s nothing left to say 

I once knew love 
What did I know?
Like burning sand 
In my hands 
I had to let it go 
Now I’ll never love again
No, I’ll never love again 
I’ll never love again 

And though the summer rain 
Soon turns to snow 
No one one knows 
What makes love fade away 
And there comes a time 
When lovers know 
It’s over 
And there’s nothing left to say 
So they say goodbye 
And hope one day 
Love comes their way again 

I once knew love 
I had it all
But now it’s gone away
