Highly Prized Possession

(альбом: Highly Prized Possession - 1974)

I know it's not your passion
To stand and stake your claim
So I don't lay no claim on you
Though most love's not lasting
When profit can be gained
Love still remains the thing that gets us through

You're my highly prized possession
You're more precious to me
Than I thought love could be
You're my highly prized possession
Ain't no question of cost
Could ever measure the loss if I lost you

Quality of mercy is such a heavy thing
At times the way we bear the constant stress
And the value of compassion
There's no price it can bring
So darling let me say this just the same

You're my highly prized possession
You're more precious to me
Than I thought love could be
You're my highly prized possession
There're ain't no ransom on earth
That could ever measure the word of loving you

There's only one thing I have left to say
Yes there's only one thing I have left to say
You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me
Than I thought love could be
You're my highly prized possession
Ain't no question of cost
Could ever measure the loss if I lost you

There's only one thing I have left to say
Yes there's only one thing I have left to say
You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me
Than I thought love could be
You're my highly prized possession
Ain't no question of cost
Could ever measure the loss of losing you
