One day you came along and spoke so tenderly You kissed me oh so sweet and gave your love to me One moment in my life I clung to every thrill Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still For one day in my life you brought me happiness You stopped the lonely world with all your tenderness I can't get over you I guess I never will Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still The day the world stood still and you were only mine I held you close to me and stopped the hands of time I can't get over you I guess I never will Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
