"Keep It Precious" lyrics

"Keep It Precious"

You brought me to trust
You brought me to tears
In one tender touch
The pain disappears
I have been to the sword
Seen it come, seen it die
As we enter the dark
I beseech you to try
In prophecy
All good things must end
So take care my love, my friend

Keep it precious
Oh... keep it precious

This yielding is fine
This promise rare
One day at a time
We've agreed to dare
Holding you tight
With wide open arms
I'm letting you go
No stranger to harm
Ride your way
Do not break or bend
Just take care, my love, my friend

Keep it precious
Oh... keep it precious

And the wonder
Let the wonder never cease
And the madness
Of the pleasure and ecstasy
Danger believing me
Wounding and healing me, please
Keep it precious

I believe in your eyes
I believe in your fate
I believe we can fly
On the wings that we create
A voice from behind
Calls up anger and fear
We can silence that scream
It's simple and clear
Nothing must die
Only if failed to mend
So take care, my love, my friend

Keep it precious
Oh... keep it precious
Oh... just keep it precious
Ooh... oh... keep it precious

My love, hold on
Keep it precious
So precious

My love, hold on
Keep it precious

Oh... love, oh no
Keep it precious

My love
Keep it precious

My love
Oh... keep it precious

Oh... my love
Oh... my precious

Oh... my love
Let's keep it precious

Ooh... my love, my love
Let's keep it precious

Hold, hold, hold, hold on
Keep it precious
Keep it precious

My love, oh no
Keep it precious
Keep it precious

My love, hold on
Keep it precious

My love, hold on
