Music by Gene Martin, BMI; Lyrics by PG Sturges, ASCAP ©2024

baby it don't bother me
when they say I love you desperately
it's true
sometimes when you look my way
wonder if you feel the same
do you?

life is short and sweet
love, love is a precious thing
love is a precious thing

baby if you got the key
you know love's the melody of life
that's right
and when you recognize the song
you know you've heard it all along
all night

life is short and sweet
love, love is a precious thing
love is a precious thing

baby it's all up to you
tell me what you're gonna do
tonight
if my love you come to choose
you know you got my soul to use
for life

life is short and sweet
love, love is a precious thing
love is a precious thing

Precious Thing

Sturges & Martin
