A very precious love is what you are to me
A stairway to a star, a night in Shangri La of ecstasy
Lanterns of gold, lanterns of blue
Twinkle in the shadows while I dance with you
An echo in the wind across the summer lake
Is saying you should know that lanterns lose their glow
And hearts can break
So hold me close, my Darling, then kiss me tenderly
And give your precious love, your very precious love to me
