I Threw It All Away Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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 

Photos 

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
