For Your Precious Love

Into each life a little rain must fall

Every day can't be Sunday

And every smile isn't a smile of happiness

And every tear that's shed is not a tear of joy

I'd like to take a little time

To dedicate this song to everyone who is in the presence of my voice

Especially for those who have loved ones far far away

Maybe she's across the sea,

Or maybe she's just in another town

I can imagine when you're all alone

In the wee wee hour of the night

You just might decide to write

Knowing all the time that you just can't find the right words to say

You can say,

Darling for your precious love

I'd give you the world on a silver cloud

But you know as well as I that that would be a lie

Now if just you take these few lines from me

The letter you're trying to write would be such a comfort to your loved one

Now listen,

For your precious love I'd climb the highest mountain

I'd even go out as far as trying to swim the deepest sea

Now listen maybe Blondie will give you a

Better understanding of what I'm trying to say:

Your precious love

Means more to me

Than any love could ever be

For I wanted you

I was so lonely and so blue

But oh, that's what love can make me do

And darling

(This is what some of my so called friends say)

They try to say that our love won't grow

But I just want to be the one to tell them

How in the world do they know

For as long, for as long as you're in love with me

I know our love will grow wider, baby, deeper than any sea now

Then of all, all the things I ever wanna

Hear you say in this whole wide world.

My my my my baby all I want is you

Baby baby (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Baby that's all I want from you
