Skeeter Davis - Something Precious lyrics

rate me

(Lorene Mann)

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 won the 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)

And I kept on searching (yes I kept on searching)

For something close to love.

And now now that another has won the love I refused

I know that something precious was you...
