Elvis Costello - 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 to drink through everyday

But I must have been mad

I never knew what I had

Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is

That makes the world go round

Love as only love

Can't be denied

Not matter what you think about it

Just won't be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried

So when you find someone

Who gives you all of her love

Take it to your heart don't

Let is stray

Cause one thing for certain

You will surely be hurting

If you throw it all away

If you throw it all away
