I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away like dusts of gold between my fingers
I didn't think that it was too precious to let go 
I didn't even believe that love really lingers 
Until I realized that I really love her so 

I threw it away like ashes in a flowing river 
For, I thought that there were more precious to come
Now, thinking about it gives me morning fever 
How I wish that I could bring back some
