Текст песни This Precious Time (Album Version) - The Grass Roots

You've been keepin' me lonely
You've been keepin' me down
And I'm sittin' here wonderin' why
I'm still hangin' 'round

Ah, the nights are growin' cold, babe
Can't you see the signs?
And there's no use in wastin'
This precious time

Ah, look out your window
Ah, can't you see
That the sun is settin' fast
For you and for me?

Ah, you broke my heart, babe
Can't you see the signs?
And there's no use in wastin'
This precious time

And I should be out seekin'
Instead of hidin'
I should be out laughin'
Instead of cryin', cryin', cryin'

You've been keepin' me lonely
You've been keepin' me down
And I'm sittin' here wonderin' why
I'm still hangin' 'round

When you no longer hear me
And your eyes, they can't see
What this precious time means
To someone like me
Oh, I wanna start livin'
I wanna take in
I gotta start livin'
If I wanna be tastin', tastin', tastin'
This precious time
