ray willis - precious jewel (2021 remaster) lyrics
[verse 1]
way back in the hills when a boy i once wandered
buried deep in the grave lies the girl that i love
she was called from the earth, a jewel from heaven
more precious than diamonds, more precious than gold
[chorus]
a jewel on earth, a jewel in heaven
she’ll brighten the kingdom around god’s great throne
may the angels have peace, god bless her in heaven
they’ve broken my heart and left me to roam
[verse 2]
a girl of sixteen, we courted each other
she promised someday to become my sweet wife
i bought her a ring to wear on her finger
the angels they called her to heaven that night
[chorus]
a jewel on earth, a jewel in heaven
she’ll brighten the kingdom around god’s great throne
may the angels have peace, god bless her in heaven
they’ve broken my heart and left me to roam
