Precious Years

It's all over now, no more summers in heaven

After World War 2 we'd a life of ups and downs

I see it now, precious even on paper, a young man and his bride

And someone to make time stand still.

Chorus

But now we know, I don't want to believe

Where does it leave you now that the precious years are gone.

All things remain to ignore and outlive you

From the man in the moon to the green hills outside your door

Alone you came, so alone you must go now

There's no mountain on earth can outlive your soul.

Chorus

I know you well, you're nothing but grateful

Never let it be said they were spent in thoughtless ways

Warm winds blow 'cross the ties that bind forever

For a place in the sun and for the heart of love alone.
