I Threw It All Away (Take 1 - May 1, 1970)

I once held her in my arms

She said she would always stay

But I was cruel

I treated her like a fool

I threw it all away

Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand

And rivers that ran through ev'ry day

I must have been mad

I never knew what I had

Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is, it makes the world go around

Love and only love it can't be denied

No matter what you think about it

You just won't be able to do without it

Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone who gives you all of her love

Take it to your heart, don't let it stray

For one thing that's certain

You will surely be a-hurtin'

If you throw it all away
