AS YOU

The Hope Diamond sits all alone
Hoping it might be
As precious and rare as you
The Sapphire of Bombay, they say
Is worth a million or two, but it’s blue
It’s not as precious as you

Diamonds may dazzle
Sapphires may dance
But secretly they would trade places
With you if they only had the chance
Jewels jostle jealously
Just knowing they can never be
As precious and rare as you

Eva gave up Argentina
Even Athena ran from the arena
When she heard about you
Aphrodite in her nightie
She gets flighty
She ain’t so mighty
When she’s next to you

The stars may glitter at night
The sun may bring the daylight
But nothing on earth is as precious
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, nothing’s as precious
Nothing’s as rare as you

The Hope Diamond sits all alone
Hope, hope, hopelessly
It’s not as precious as you
The Sapphire of Bombay, they say
Is worth a million or two
It’s not as precious as you

Diamonds may dazzle
Sapphires may dance
But secretly they would trade places
With you if they only
If they had the chance, oh baby
Nothing else would ever do
There’s nothing as precious as you

Eva gave up Argentina
Even Athena ran from the arena
When she heard about you
Aphrodite in her nightie
She gets flighty
She ain’t so mighty
When she’s next to you

The stars may glitter at night
The sun may bring the daylight
But nothing on earth is as precious
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, as you, as you, as you
As you, nothing’s as precious
Nothing’s as rare as you
