Precious Love
words/music © matt ralph 2006
Like a dancer in the sky,
She’s there and then she’s gone,
Like a diamond in the river,
That shines amongst the stones,
Like a flower in the sun,
That reaches for the light,
And it’ll follow it where ever,
It cuts across the sky,
Could I,
Could I take you higher,
Could I,
Cause I can’t see it end like this,
Watching our love,
Our precious love slip away,
Knowing that I learnt my lesson too late,
Like the wind beneath a feather,
That dances it into the air,
And you only catch a glimmer,
But it’s all around you everywhere,
Could I,
Could I take you higher,
Could I,
Cause I can’t see it end like this,
Watching our love,
Our precious love slip away,
Gonna keep my eyes my wide open,
Gonna set aside the time,
Gonna give our love affection,
I’m gonna feel you body next to mine,
Could I,
Could I take you higher,
Could I,
Cause I can’t see it end like this,
Watching our love,
Our precious love slip away,
Like a sailor on the waves,
That sails across the sea,
And there’s nothing there to guide him,
But a shining star,
That’s what you are for me,
Could I,
Could I take you higher,
Could I,
Cause I can’t see it end like this,
Watching our love,
Our precious love slip away,
Gonna keep my eyes my wide open,
Gonna give ourselves the time,
Gonna give our love affection,
I’m gonna keep your body next to mine,
