Precious
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the ebb and flow of the tide
will carry me forth into your arms
and though i'll miss you tonight
the thought of your love keeps me warm
as the moon comes out over the water
precious and too sweet
i shall pray love your soul to keep
the river sleeping sound
i shall be dreaming deep of you
soul will keep thee, rife and weepy, calling out to you
the dip and roar of the crowd
will dizzy me forth into your arms
and if we pass it all around
we'll be of the same point of view
as the world spins round, here everafter
precious and too sweet
i shall pray love your soul to keep
the river sleeping sound
i shall be dreaming deep of you
on a bed of silver sand
i'll take you lightly by the hand
and we'll dance on by the moon
i shall be dreaming deep of you
shattered, dreamy, calm and sweetly, fool enough for two
when the stars play hide and seek
i shall be dreaming deep of you (i shall be dreaming)
precious and too sweet
i shall pray love your soul to keep (i shall be praying)
on a bed of silver sand
i'll take you lightly by the hand (i shall be dreaming)
and we'll dance on by the moon
i shall be dreaming deep of you (i shall be praying)
