For Your Precious Love Lyrics
Your precious love means more to me
Than any love, than any love could ever be.
For when I wanted you,
I was so lonely and so blue,
That’s what love, That’s what love really made me do
And darling, oh, they keep sayin' that our love won’t grow, now.
But, honey, I just want to tell them, and I just want show them
how in the world do they know?
And for as long, for as long as you’re in love with me,
I know our love will grow wider,
And so deeper than any sea.
All, all the things that I want
In this whole wide world is just for you to say,
For you to say that you’ll be my girl.
And i'm calling - I'm wanting you,
I just keep wanting you, I'm wanting now,
nobody but you now, nobody but you now
i just want to tell you one more time
for your precious love
it means everything in the world to me
everything in the world to me
i'd be so wild just to have you at home right next to me
So it's unknown to me why there wasn't been a billion comments on this. Otis Redding's cover is god, like pure god. There isn't anything more blatantly confessing love, more then this song. and it's use in the film mr. Nobody is so utterly perfect! RIP OTIS kudo's too to Ashford and Simpson who wrote it. :3
This isn't a lyric correction so much as an attribution correction. "For Your Precious Love" was written by Arthur Brooks, Richard Brooks and Jerry Butler. Ashford and Simpson wrote "Your Precious Love," a fantastic song performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
This song is a man confessing his love to a woman.
