PRECIOUS MOMENTS, THE
Theme from the film "The Sea Wolves" (1980)
(Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse / Music: Roy Budd - From Richard Addinsell's "The
Warsaw Concerto")

Matt Monro (Film Soundtrack) - 1980


They are so few,
The precious moments of our lives;
They fade from view,
And when they do, we try to live them anew.

Which would they be,
The precious moments of our lives,
If we could see into the past
And maybe keep two or three?

The moments of youth,
The moments of truth,
And the moments of giving
That make life worth living!

The moments of joy
And the moments of pain,
And the moments we know
We will not know again!

Yes, these are the moments we all should recall,
Moments and memories of dreams great and small.
Guess we were lucky to know them at all,
Yes, we were lucky to know them at all!

They're there to share,
The precious moments of our lives.
Treat them with care,
For they are rare,
And let's be glad they are there!

Treat them with care,
For they are rare,
And let's be glad they are there,
Be glad they are there!
