Precious Little Time
Cherished Moments Lost: Liam Sweeney's 'Precious Little Time' Unveiled
Lyrics
Something's different now
There's a noticeable change occurring now.
It's changing all around
Change is happening all around.
In the words I speak
The things I say reflect this change.
The air I breathe
Even the air I breathe is affected by this change.
The slowly setting sun
The sun is slowly setting, indicating an ending or loss.
Something's not quite right
There's a feeling that something isn't quite right.
The house is still tonight
The house is unusually quiet tonight.
Lights are dark
There are no lights on, creating a somber atmosphere.
And memories start
Memories are flooding back and starting to emerge.
To rain down from my eyes
Emotions are overwhelming, causing tears to fall.
I promised you that I'd come through
I made a promise to you and intended to keep it.
I gave my solemn vow
I solemnly vowed to fulfill my promise.
I asked you please to wait for me
I pleaded with you to wait for me.
It seems you couldn't anyhow
Seems like you couldn't wait, regardless of my plea.
I guess we had so precious little time
We had very little time together, and it was extremely valuable.
When you were mine
Referring to the time when you were in my life.
You say you had to go
You mentioned you had to depart.
You had no choice I know
I understand you felt you had no other option.
But if I accept, why you left
If I come to terms with why you left, I'll break down emotionally.
Is me I'll fall apart
Accepting the reasons for your departure might shatter me.
What could I have done to make you
I wonder what I could have done to make you stay.
Stay with me
Asking why you didn't remain with me.
When every time I tried I,
Each attempt I made to keep you around seemed to damage your aspirations.
I tore apart your dreams
My efforts to hold on to you resulted in harming your dreams.
I promised you that I'd come through
Repeated the promise made earlier to fulfill my commitment.
I gave my solemn vow
Reaffirmed my solemn vow to you.
I asked you please to wait for me
I begged you to wait for me, but it seems you couldn't regardless.
It seems you couldn't anyhow
Similar to earlier, it seems you couldn't wait for me.
I guess we had so precious little time
We had very little time together, and it was extremely valuable (repeated).
When you were mine
Referencing the period when we were together (repeated).
When you were mine
Recalling the time when you were a part of my life (repeated).
