Precious Love

James Morrison · Songs For You, Truths For Me (Deluxe Edition) [2009]

I was so lost, didn't know what to do with myself

I was my own worst enemy

I was lost and oh I needed help,

Then you came along and saw the state I was in

You picked me up when I was down,

Showed me how to live again



I say thank you for pulling me through,

I'm a lucky man,

I didn't know what life was

but know I understand



This is precious love, precious love

No I can't let it go

This is precious love, and it's teaching me,

Everything I need to know



This is precious love, oh this precious love,

No I can't get enough

Now I'm down on my knees, begging you please

To give me some more of that stuff.



Love, love, love, love, love ; precious love

Oh It's love, love, love, love, love ; precious love



I got so distracted by people all around,

Whispering sweet nothings, filling my head with doubts

So i give up

I didn't take love for me to see

One thing that I was missing was standing in front of me

I took you for granted

Thought that the grass was greener on the other side,

and I was wrong and it took me so long

for me to finally realize



This is precious love, precious love

No I can't let it go,

This is precious love, and it's teaching me,

Everything I need to know



This is precious love, oh this precious love,

No I can't get enough,

Now I'm down on my knees, begging you please

To give me some more of that stuff.



I say a prayer and I'd send it to you

that my hart will always be true
