Precious Time (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

A million tiny lights are strung across the western sky
They burn to light our mission
But it’s just a million lonely hearts
Strung out from never asking why
We burn with blind ambition

I heard somebody say
I don’t regret my wedding day
But something’s wrong
It’s not the same
I’m lonely and i’d start again
If i had the time
Precious time

But i don’t ask much
Just to keep in touch
And waste a little of your precious time
Waste a little of your precious time

A million dollars never justified a million lies
To jockey for position
And if two hearts can’t beat as one
How can a million souls survive
In this world of suspicion

I heard somebody say
I dream about my wedding day
Through lonely nights
I dream of you
A lover though a friend would do
I’d find him if i had the time
Precious time

But i don’t ask much
Just to keep in touch
And waste a little of your precious time
Waste a little of your precious time

And just a smile’s enough
Just some of that human stuff
And waste a little of your precious time
Precious time

Precious Time (Letra)

I was captured by the light of a wayward smile
When she said to me,
"move slowly son and touch the sky,
Very soon you’ll see
Oo, how precious time placed it’s hand on me;
Oo, how precious time, how it rescued me."

See the line of sight in side your mind,
But from where i don’t know.
And the tales that are left behind,
Left for all to grow.
Oo, precious time placed it’s hand on me;
Oo, precious time, how it rescued me."
Oo, how it rescued me, how it rescued me.

Oh, there’s a place in time not far from here,
A place we all could see;
So if you’re lookin’ for a better day,
Touch the sky and see.
Oh, precious time placed it’s hand on me;
Oh, precious time, how it rescued me.

Be the soldiers for your lives my friends,
Fight for all to see.
It’s the only way to catch the sun;
It’s the only way you’ll see,
Oh how precious time placed it’s hand on me,
Yeah precious time
How it rescued me, baby, baby it rescued me.

Oh, there’s a place in time not far from here,
A place we all could see;
So if you’re lookin’ for a better day,
Touch the sky and see.
Oh, precious time placed it’s hand on me;
Oh, precious time, how it rescued me.

Mother i’d like to stay and talk for a minute
You see i’m a lady now
Somehow we’re seeing eye to eye

Been searching for a key to set me free
From rowdy people, places
Flipping through old faces

So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind

We’ve done the time
You and i in our venture
To get the sweetness of life

No more lies, no more objectives
Twisted partings and misconceptions
Days go by like sweet summer breeze
I don’t know i…can’t feel them anymore

Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind

Mother i feel so tired
Let me place my head right here on…on your shoulder
Oh this world can hurt so many
Oh so many people throughout this life
Short in past

So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind

Mind, mind, mind
Mind, mind, mind

Precious Time (Letra)

I don’t want to argue about who is the victim
Cause maybe we both got burned
I don’t want to talk about who is the traitor
Cause both of our loyalties turned
I don’t want to fight about who is the liar
Cause there’s too many ways to lie
I don’t want to hear about who is the winner
Cause we both know it’s a tie
Cut it out, drop it, count me out – baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

You were on a liquid diet, you were sure you had to try it
And you lost all your pounds
The doctor’s on vacation, so you took the medication
And wound up in lost and found
So we took a trip to paris
Cause you swore that it would scare us out of our swift decline
All that i remember `bout those days in that september
Is the "merci" and the wine

Cut it out, drop it, count me out – baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste
Precious time, precious time, precious time
Oh, precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

You talk on the telephone, long distance to new york or rome
Some would say you got it made
Your home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist
The gardner, and the maid
You call me on the telephone, you say you feel so alone
Too tired to get dressed and get out
First you’re happy, then you’re sad
Somehow you always hang up mad
Excuse me if i shout

Cut it out, drop it, count me out – baby stop it
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time
Precious time, precious time, oh precious time
Life is too short, so why waste precious time

Precious time is slipping away
But you’re only king for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray
Precious time is slipping away

It doesn’t matter what route you take
Sooner or later the hearts going to break
No rhyme or reason, no master plan
No nirvana, no promised land

Because, precious time is slipping away
Yuu know you’re only king for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Say que sera, whatever will be
But then i keep on searching for immortality
She’s so beautiful but she’s going to die some day
Everything in life just passes away

But, precious time is slipping away
You know she’s only queen for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Well this world is cruel with its twists and turns
Well the fire’s still in me and the passion burns
I love a medley ‘til the day i die
‘til hell freezes over and the rivers run dry

Precious time is slipping away
You know she’s only queen for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray because
Precious time is slipping away

Precious time is slipping away
You know you’re only king for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray
Precious time is slipping away

Precious time is slipping away
You know you’re only king for a day
It doesn’t matter to which god you pray because
Precious time is slipping away

He’s just sitting on a corner, wasting time
He’s just sitting on a corner, wasting time
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
Everyone, never wondering why

She just spends all her money, half the rent
On dresses and jewelry and playing cards
Playing cards from dawn ‘til night
Playing cards all night
Everyone, never wondering why

Chorus:
Outside the window, see the people below
Life cast a shadow on their faces

He’s too lost to admit it, sends regards
To friends of the family at christmas time
Send regards to all he knows
Sends regards to most
Everyone, never wondering why

(chorus)

He’s just sitting on a corner, wasting time
He’s just sitting on a corner, wasting time
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
Everyone, everyone, never wondering why
