Precious

Never had a lot of spending money

I never had a lot of change to spare

But darling, do you think I'm worried?

Little darling, do you think I care?

There's a full lot of things in this priceless world

That all our money can't buy

You can't get it from your pocketbook

And now I'm gonna tell you why

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

All the different kinds of teas in China

All the shiny little gems, so rare

Gold and silver, and sparkling diamonds

Won't ever with your love compare

So take your cares and your trouble

And send them all away

Throw them back where they all belong

Forget about them for a day

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious (precious thing)

Your love is precious, child (precious thing)

Because it's precious (it's precious)

Your love is precious, child (precious thing)

A little bit of understanding (oh, yes)

Is gonna change your heart and soul

It's gonna heal your broken spirit (it's gonna heal you)

So make love you special goal

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child

Because it's precious

Your love is precious, child
