A very precious love
Is what you are to me
A stairway to a star
A night in Shangri-La
Of ecstasy

Lanterns of gold

(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

So hold me close, my darling
Then kiss me tenderly
And give your precious love
Your very precious love to me
(My very precious love)
