"Precious Time" lyrics

Like the lightning between us
There above and beneath us
A moment that can last forever
Is gone as if it never happened at all
So I'll hold you close as forever moments corrode

Precious time, precious time
As long as your mine, precious time

We all know that life's for the living
Time can be taken as soon as it's given
For every second you lend me
I promise to love you completely
The moment that we realise
The fragile nature of love in this life

Precious time, precious time
As long as your mine
Precious time
Time spent without you is senseless
You bring down all my defences
As long as your mine
Precious time

The first kiss of all this that brings us to now
The breath that we take should the hours allow
The song that I sang as you walked down the aisle
From the cinema dates and mischievous smile
The keepsakes, the memories, the books that we've read
The coffees gone cold by the side of the bed
The mystery and wonder of you by my side
The stars that come out every time you arrive

Precious time, precious time
As long as your mine
Precious time
Time spent without you is senseless
You bring down all my defences
For every second you lend me
I promise to love you completely
Always be mine
Precious time, precious time
Always be mine, precious time
