Lyrics for For Your Precious Love

Your precious love, now, means more to me Than any love, any love could ever be For when I wanted you, oh now, I was so lonely and so blue For that's what love, that's what love really made me do And darling, oh, they keep saying that our love won't grow, now But honey I wanna tell them And I just wanna show them How in the world do they know? It won't be long, oh now, oh now For as long as you're in love with me, now I know our love will grow wider And so deeper than any, any other sea, now And all, all the things that I want, now In this whole wide world is just For you to say, for you to say That you would be my, my girl, now And I'm calling, I'm wanting you, I just keep wanting you, now, oh now I'm wanting you, now, nobody but you, now, nobody but you, now Oh, I wanna tell you just one more time For your precious love, now, oh my, Means everything in the world to me, everything in the world to me And I would just go wild, now, just to have you ride home with me, oh Now, now, now
