Of all the temptations Of all that I've seen Of all the fascinations and all memories Of all the warm kisses And all those lost tears You are still the only one that's precious me Precious Off all the confessions And oceans of dreams Of all the triumphs of mankind you're all that I need Precious You are Precious But when I saw you at their side I broke the frame I broke down and I cried Why does the silent terrify If all the jurors testify That I am but an anecdote To all the heathen's Jericho's I'm building walls from poet's day And broken glass lies where we lay The serpent's 'roundthe heel of truth The bite of doubt is all but living proof But what I had given turned agains me The noose of illusion tight around me Precious You are Precious
