Precious One, Precious One
Thought you stood so sweet upon your own two feet
Precious One, Precious One
Thought there was no breeze could bring you to your knees
But I was wrong
Precious One, Precious One
Should have been a light to guide you through the night
Precious One, Precious One
Wanted to believe you had no need to grieve
But I was wrong
I was wrong, I was wrong
Should have wrapped my arms
Around you tight
To say, I'm here
What's done is done
What's done is done
Precious one, Precious one
Wish there was a tide to bring me to your side
Precious One, Precious One
Didn't want to run or leave it all undone
O I was wrong
