Joe Jackson - Precious Time lyrics

A million tiny lights are strung across the western sky They burn to light our mission But it's just a million lonely hearts Strung out from never asking why We burn with blind ambition I heard somebody say I don't regret my wedding day But something's wrong It's not the same I'm lonely and i'd start again If i had the time Precious time But i don't ask much Just to keep in touch And waste a little of your precious time Waste a little of your precious time A million dollars never justified a million lies To jockey for position And if two hearts can't beat as one How can a million souls survive In this world of suspicion I heard somebody say I dream about my wedding day Through lonely nights I dream of you A lover though a friend would do I'd find him if i had the time Precious time But i don't ask much Just to keep in touch And waste a little of your precious time Waste a little of your precious time And just a smile's enough Just some of that human stuff And waste a little of your precious time Precious time
