Paroles de Very Precious Love

Ev'ry show must have a song Most ev'ryone agrees For what else could the ingenue and the juvenile reprise And so I wrote a random note, a harmony or two And when it came to add the words I tried describing you A very precious love Is what you are to me A stairway to a star A night in Shangrilá of ecstasy Lanterns of gold Lanterns of blue Twinkle in the shadows While I dance with you An echo in the wind Across the summer lake Is sayin' you should know that lanterns lose their glow and hearts can break So hold me close my darling then kiss me tenderly And give your precious love Your very precious love to me
