Precious Lyrics

[00:19.70] Precious and fragile things
[00:24.27] Need special handling
[00:28.75] My god, what have we done to you?
[00:34.41]
[00:37.93] We always tried to share
[00:42.60] The tenderest of care
[00:47.25] Now look what we have put you through
[00:56.31] Things get damaged
[00:58.67] Things get broken
[01:00.91] I thought we'd manage
[01:02.96] But words left unspoken
[01:05.49] Left us so brittle
[01:07.89] There was so little left to give
[01:13.37]
[01:28.47] Angels with silver wings
[01:32.70] Shouldn't know suffering
[01:37.23] I wish I could take the pain for you
[01:42.95]
[01:46.31] If God has a master plan
[01:50.91] That only he understands
[01:55.78] I hope it's your eyes he's seeing through
[02:04.90] Things get damaged
[02:07.25] Things get broken
[02:09.55] I thought we'd manage
[02:11.55] But words left unspoken
[02:14.05] Left us so brittle
[02:16.48] There was so little left to give
[02:21.90]
[02:52.92] I pray you learn to trust
[02:57.52] Have faith in both of us
[03:01.83] And keep room in your hearts for two
[03:11.28] Things get damaged
[03:13.53] Things get broken
[03:15.80] I thought we'd manage
[03:17.82] But words left unspoken
[03:20.33] Left us so brittle
[03:22.78] There was so little left to give
[03:26.77]
