Precious Time

[Verse 1]

A million tiny lights are strung across the western sky

They burn to light our mission

But it's just a million lonely hearts

Strung out from never asking why

We burn with blind ambition

[Pre-Chorus]

I heard somebody say

I don't regret my wedding day

But something's wrong

It's not the same

I'm lonely and I'd start again

If I had the time

Precious time

[Chorus]

But I don't ask that much

Just to keep in touch

And waste a little of your precious time

Waste a little of your precious time

[Verse 2]

A million dollars never justified a million lies

To jockey for position

And if two hearts can't beat as one

How can a billion souls survive

In this world of suspicion?

[Pre-Chorus]

I heard somebody say

I dream about my wedding day

Through lonely nights

I dream of you

A lover though a friend would do

I'd find him if I had the time

Precious time

[Chorus]

And I don't ask that much

Just to keep in touch

And waste a little of your precious time

Waste a little of your precious time

And I don't ask that much

Just to keep in touch

And waste a little of your precious time

And just a smile's enough

Just some of that human stuff

And waste a little of your precious time

[Outro]
