Lyrics
These precious moments are all so dear to me
So give me just a moment more to hold you near to me
One moment more and we must say, goodnight
Before we say, goodnight, kiss me again
These precious moments, let’s make the most of them
Soon they’ll be gone and we’ll be left
With just the ghost of them
Why waste a moment? They’re all too few
These precious moments that I spend with you
Interlude
How time goes by! It seems to fly
When you and I are in the arms of love
Before we know, It’s time to go
The hour of parting is the fleetest
The last few moments are the sweetest
Performance
