Текст The Grass Roots – This Precious Time

You’ve been keeping me lonely
You’ve been keeping me down
And I’m sitting here wondering
Why I’m still hanging around.

The night’s grown cold, babe
Can’t you see the signs?
Ah, there’s no use wasting
This precious time.

Look out your window
Ah, can’t you see
That the sun is getting fast
For you and me?

Ah, you’ve grown hard, babe
Can’t you see the signs?
Ah, there’s no use wasting
This precious time.

Well, I should be out seeking
Instead of hiding
Yeah, I should be out laughing
Instead of crying, crying, crying.

‘Cause you’ve been keeping me lonely
You’ve been keeping me down
And I’m sitting here thinking to myself
Why I’m sticking around.

When you no longer hear me
And your eyes can’t see
What this precious time
Means to someone like me.

Oh, I wanna start living
Life’s for the taking
