I know it's not your passion

To stand and stake your claim

So I don't lay no claim on you

Though most love's not lasting

When profit can be gained

Love still remains the thing that gets us through

You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me

Than I thought love could be

You're my highly prized possession

Ain't no question of cost

Could ever measure the loss if I lost you

Quality of mercy is such a heavy thing

At times the way we bear the constant stress

And the value of compassion

There's no price it can bring

So darling let me say this just the same

You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me

Than I thought love could be

You're my highly prized possession

There're ain't no ransom on earth

That could ever measure the word of loving you

There's only one thing I have left to say

Yes there's only one thing I have left to say

You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me

Than I thought love could be

You're my highly prized possession

Ain't no question of cost

Could ever measure the loss if I lost you

There's only one thing I have left to say

Yes there's only one thing I have left to say

You're my highly prized possession

You're more precious to me

Than I thought love could be

You're my highly prized possession

Ain't no question of cost

Could ever measure the loss of losing you
