Lyrics
Hoo, hah
Hah, hoo
Precious moments
When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Will I have to suffer (suffer)
And cry the whole night through?
When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
(Is this the end?)
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
Hah, hoo
Precious moments
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
(Is this the end?)
When will I see you again?
When will I see you again?
Sweet sweet love of mine
(When will I see you again?)
Come, come
(When will I see you again?)
Tell me, yeah
(When will I see you again?)
My sweet lover, yeah
(When will I see you again?)
Ooh yeah
(When will I see you again?)
Come on, come on
(When will I see you again?)
(When will I see you again?)
Ooh yeah
(When will I see you again?)
