I've heard many precious things,
Priceless thoughts I've had to bring,
But none worth more to me than you are, dear,
But something's just occurred to me,
It makes me kind of scared, you see,
If I lost you, then I'd cry for a year.

Well, I don't mind if I lose my life,
That's not my greatest fear,
If I lost you, then I'd cry for a year.

To put God first is the preacher's suggestion,
It's never really been in question,
God's always there, he won't just disappear,
You can take away my house and my car,
That just means I can't get far,
But if I lost you, then I'd cry for a year.

I don't mind if I lose my life,
It's not my greatest fear,
But if I lost you, then I'd cry for a year,
I don't mind if I lose my life,
It's not my greatest fear,
But if I lost you, then I'd cry for a year.
