Precious Moments
Climie Fisher Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm always the one to say
There's nothing to be afraid of
So why oh why does everything change
I close my eyes because it's so strange

I' m scared scared of letting go
Unprepared for what I don't know
Shouldn't be frightened

This is a precious moment

I look into her eyes
And I see my own reflection
She moves slowly out of the light
The world she knows is far from her side

She's scared scared of letting go
Unprepared for what I don't know
Should'nt be frightened
This is a precious moment

Let go ... Let go
Don't hide your love away it's a precious moment
Let go .. Don't let it run away it's a precious moment
Let go ... Oh precious moment please don 't go

And just cos I'll make a plan
Don't mean that I understand it
Meeting you it's different somehow
One touch from you and suddenly now

I' m scared scared of letting go
Unprepared for what I don't know
Should'nt be frightened
This is a precious moment

Let go .. Let go
Don't hide your love away - it as a precious moment

Let go .. Don't let it run away it as a precious moment
Let go.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm always the one to say
I tend to be the person who reassures others that there's nothing to be scared of

There's nothing to be afraid of
There's no need to feel frightened

So why oh why does everything change
Despite my reassurances things still change, and this can be difficult to accept

I close my eyes because it's so strange
Sometimes it's easier to shut my eyes and hide from change

I'm scared scared of letting go
I'm deeply afraid of moving on or trying something new

Unprepared for what I don't know
I'm not ready for the unknown

Shouldn't be frightened
I know I shouldn't be scared, but it's hard

This is a precious moment
Despite the fear, this moment is valuable and special

I look into her eyes
I gaze into the eyes of someone special

And I see my own reflection
I see myself reflected in their eyes

She moves slowly out of the light
The person I'm with starts to move away from me, physically or emotionally
