[Verse 1]
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's still remains the thing that gets us through

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The 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

[Chorus]
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 ain't no ransom on earth that could ever measure the word of loving you

[Pre-Chorus]
And there's only one thing I have left to say
And there's only one thing I have left to say
[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And there's only one thing I have left to say
And there's only one thing I have left to say

[Chorus]
You're my highly (You're my highly) prized possession
You're more precious to me than I thought love could be
You're my highly (You're my highly) prized possession
Ain't no question of cost could ever measure the loss if I lost you
