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
