So long have I known you
It's hard to find
New ways to say I love you
And thank you for being mine
Well, here goes another try
Diamonds and jewels,
darling
Silver and gold These things are rare,
darling
Or so we are often told
But they can be bought and sold
And what you have, it can't be found
As you're in the shop downtown
Nobody can know
What is yours and yours alone
If only you could see yourself Or the treasure that you are
Then you would know That you are a precious stone
Precious stone
Lives have been spent searching For one
so true
No fame and no
fortune
Could ever come close to you
Cause what you have,
it can't be found As you're in the shop downtown
Nobody can know What is yours and yours alone
If only you could see yourself Or the treasure that you are
Then you would know That you are a
precious stone
Precious stone
Brilliance and radiance, deepness and strength
The facets of you I have come to know
A priceless appraisal for you
You are a precious stone And you alone
And what you have,
it can't be found As you're in the shop downtown
Nobody can know What is yours and yours alone
If only you could see
yourself Or the treasure that you are
Then you would know That you are a precious stone
So long I have known you You and you alone
I hope somehow I've shown you You're a precious stone
