I had something precious, something very hard to find
But I didn't know it 'till it was no longer mine
And now, now when I lost it and there's nothing I can do
I know that something precious was you
I had something precious, something very sweet and rare
But I didn't want it 'till it was no longer there
And now, now that another has wonder love I refused
I know that something precious was you
You were one I wanted (yes, you were one I wanted)
What I was looking for (just what I was looking for)
But I kept on searching (yes, I kept on searching)
For something close to love
And now, now that another has wonder love I refused
I know that something precious was you
