I hate to see it end so sudden
I hate to hear you say we're through
I'll treasure every golden moment
When I was so close to you

It's great to be a king in glory
Even though you have to fall
It's better to have loved a little
Than never to have loved at all

Of course it hurts me so to lose you
I'm glad I had you for a while
No heart full of hate will accuse you
And when I think of you I'll smile

Though someone else will share your kisses
You'll take my picture from your wall
It's better to have loved a little
Than never to have loved at all
