Precious Years Lyrics

Cover art for Precious Years lyrics by Runrig

For me The Precious Years relate to the time when you have one, or two, parents alive. This a son singing about the time after he has lost the second parent. They were married after WW2, a life of ups and downs, the hearts of love a home. Some of the song relates to memories which last for ever, and the chorus is the loss one feels after a death.
