Barry Mcguire This Precious Time (feat. The Mamas & The Papas)
You've been keepin' me lonely
You've been keepin' me down
And I'm sittin' here wonderin'
Why I'm still hangin' around
The night's gone cold, babe
Can't you see the signs?
Ah, there's no use wastin'
This precious time
Ah, look out your window
Ah, can't you see
That the sun is settin' fast
For you and me?
Ah, you've grown hard, babe
Can't you see the sigs?
Ah, there's no use wastin'
This precious time
When I should be out seekin'
Instead of hidin'
Yeah, I should be out laughin'
Instead of cryin', cryin', cryin'
'Cause you've been keepin' me lonely
You've been keepin' me down
And I'm sittin' here thinkin' to myself
Why am I stickin' around?
When you no longer hear me
And your eyes can't see
What this precious time
Means to someone like me, yeah
Oh, I wanna start livin'
Life's for the takin'
And I gotta start livin'
If I wanna be tastin', tastin', tastin'
This precious time
