This song and "Hypnotized" are two of my favorite songs by Linda Jones. Her voice - the range and beautify are simply amazing.
These lyrics are taken directly from the MusixMatch website: https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Linda-Jones/Your-Precious-Love.
Into each life a little rain must fall
And you know everyday cannot be Sunday
Every smile is not a smile of happiness
And every tear that is shed is not a tear of joy
I′d like to dedicate this song to all of you lovers out there
Because maybe you have a loved one that's far, far away
Maybe he′s across the street
Or maybe she's just in another town
You know, I can imagine when you're all
Alone in the wee wee hours of the night
Why don′t you get yourself a piece of paper and a pencil
And sit down, and Lord have mercy, decide to write
Knowing all the time that this letter that you write
May not be a comfort to your loved one heart
But let me tell you something you can say
You can say "Darling, for your precious love
I′d give you the world on a silver platter"
But you'll know as well as I that you′d be telling a great big lie
And you don't wanna do that to your loved one, neither would I
But you can say "Darling, for your precious love
I′d climb the highest mountain"
You know something ladies and gentlemen
You could even go out as far as telling him or her
That you'd try to swim the deepest sea
But I think if you all would sit back, relax
Put your mind at rest and listen to me
I think I can give you a better understanding
Of what I′m trying to say
Your precious love means more to me
More than any love could ever be
Now listen to me, too
Oh and I
Oh, wanted you
Lately I've been so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely and so blue
Good God almighty
That's what I′ve been through
You know something ladies
And especially you ladies I′d like to speak to
Because you know something ladies
If you got a man, I don't care what kind of a man you got
He wants you to get down on your knees every once in a while
And kind of crawl at you
But you know I got a man that′s somewhere out there
That I don't mind crawling at you
Sometimes I wake up in the midnight hours
Tears rolling down my face
And when I look around for my man and can′t find him
Hey, I fall a little lower, look a little higher
Kinda pray to the Lord
Because I always believed that the Lord could help me
If nobody else could
But sometimes I think he don't even hear me
So I have to fall a little lower on my knees
Look a little higher, kinda raise my voice a little higher
And this is what I say when I call for my man
I especially want you ladies to listen to me
Because maybe you can try this
It might help you every once in a while
This is what you say when you call on your man
Now listen to me, too
Darling, darling
Darling, don′t you know that I love you too much, yeah, yeah
Oh, fall down on my knees
And beg my baby please
I got to tell the man that I love him, yes, I will
With your precious love
With your precious love
There's nothing, nothing, nothing in this whole wide world
I wouldn't do, darling
Lord, I won′t lie down and wait
Long, I got to see my baby again
I got to tell the man that I love him, one more time, y′all
With your precious love
I do not own the rights to this beautiful song.
