Simple Precious Thing

Before you hang up the phone
would you please hear me out

I don't want you to fall

Too many times I've let you down
you didn't deserve that at all

I can't erase what I've done

All the things you've gave me
the loving way you've raised me
All the sacrifices you made
I'd be  crazy to throw it away

But I don't want you to fall

There is a far greater love than I can give
Far greater peace than I can live


I know you're full of hurt
caused by all my dirt

but I don't want you to fall


If I can give you anything
I'd choose this precious, simple thing

It's what matters most of all

All the things you've gave me
the loving way you've raised me
All the sacrifices you made
I'd be  crazy to throw it away

But I don't want you to fall

There is a far greater love than I can give
Far greater peace than I can live
