(Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still)

One day you came along and spoke so tenderly
You kissed me oh so sweet and gave your love to me
One moment in my life I clung to every thrill
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still

For one day in my life you brought me happiness
You stopped the lonely world with all your tenderness
I can't get over you I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still

[ steel ]
The day the world stood still you were only mine
I held you close to me and stopped the hands of time
I can't get over you I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
