This Precious Time

Steve Barri, P.F. Sloan

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 night's grown cold, babe
Can't you see the sign?
And there's no use wastin'
This precious time

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

Ah, you've grown hard, babe
Can't you see the sign?
Ah, there's no use in wastin'
This precious time

When 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'
Life's for the takin'
I've gotta start livin'
If I wanna be tastin', tastin', tastin'
This precious time
