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.
I never had a lot of spendin' money
I never had a lot of change to spare
But darlin', do you think I worry
Little darlin', do you think I care
There's a whole lot of things
In this restless world
That a whole lot of money can't buy
You can't get it from your pocketbook
And 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 troubles
And send them all away
And put them back where they all belong
Forget about them for a day
(* Repeat)
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
(It's a precious thing)
A little of understanding
Is gonna change your heart and soul
It's gonna heal your broken spirit
So make love your special goal
(* Repeat and fade)
