For your precious love means more to me
G C
Than any love could ever be
C Am F
For when I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue

For that's what love will do
 
Darling, I'm so surprised,
Oh, when I first realized
That you were fooling me
Darling, they say that our love won't grow
 
I just want to tell them that they don't know
For as long as you, long as you are loving me
Our love will grow wider, deeper than any sea

And all the things in the world, in this whole wide world

Is just that you would say that you'd be my girl

For your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I, I wanted you I was so lonely and so blue
That's what love will do
