I came across a photograph That reminded me of how we used to laugh I'm looking now through different eyes At all I took for granted, won't someone tell me why? You got to lose it to know how much it's worth We're only given so much time upon this earth This is life, this is very precious life Don't go throwing it away This is life, everybody's got the right Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace I call your name, but you're not there Tell me why the world goes on when it's not fair And how a broken heart survives Oh, I might be letting go now, but I'll never say goodbye I am stronger now with every breath I take This isn't just another careless twist of fate, no This is life, this is very precious life Don't go throwing it away This is life, everybody's got the right Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace You got to lose it to know how much it's worth We're only given so much time upon this earth This is life, this is very precious life Don't go throwing it away This is life, everybody's got the right Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace This is life, this is very precious life (Very precious life) This is life, this is very precious Hold on to it, it's a gift you can't replace This is life This is very precious (Got to hold on) This is life (Hold on) Hold on to it This is very precious This is life (Very precious life, got to hold on) This is very precious This is life This is very precious
