Precious

Not long, not long
That’s what he said – there’s nothing you can do
You were young and in love
Your life was still ahead of you
And in silence you prayed

Be strong, be strong
Will you find the strength to carry on?
Without hope and all is fear
There’s no one looking out for you my dear

And in silence you prayed
How long the nights that you stayed awake
So sleepless
And alone
All alone

Did you know how precious life would feel
When time’s your enemy?
Did you know how precious life would feel
When time’s your enemy?

No words, no words
Just keep it all inside, inside
It’s a curse but denial
Might just be what’s keeping you alive

And in silence you prayed
How long the nights that you stayed awake
So sleepless
And alone
All alone

Did you know how precious life would feel
When time’s your enemy?
Did you know how precious life would feel
When time’s your enemy?
