Temporary Nature (Of Any Precious Thing)

Afraid to love and afraid to give Just because of what it might cost us But love can never, never live Without the pain, the pain of loss Life's never fair and it can be rough And it can turn and play cruel tricks on us And just when we think we've had enough There's always on more river to cross The temporary nature of any precious thing That just makes it, just makes it more precious But not easier, not easier to lose To lose somebody as precious as you We don't have an answer, God only knows Why we are made to weather these storms But God knows I love you And you've always been precious Since the day, the day you were born And it's always the sweetest reddest roses That kiss the sharpest thorns And it's always the deepest saddest joys That prove to be the richest ones The temporary nature of any precious thing That just makes it, just makes it more precious But not easier, not easier to lose To lose somebody, somebody like you To lose somebody as precious as you To lose somebody as precious as you
