Lyrics:
A very precious loveDoris Day from the Warner Bros Picture'Marjorie Morningstar'Ev'ry show must have a songMost ev'ryone agreesFor what else could the ingenueAnd the juvenile repriseAnd so I wrote a random noteA harmony or twoAnd when it came to add the wordsI tried describing youA very precious loveIs what you are to meA stairway to a starA night in Shangrila of ecstasyLanterns of goldLanterns of blueTwinkle in the shadowsWhile I dance with youAn echo in the windAcross the summer lakeIs sayin' you should knowThat lanterns lose their glowAnd hearts can breakSo hold me close, my darlingThen kiss me tenderlyAnd give your precious loveYour very precious love to me
