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 You held me close to you 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
