Das Lied ist die Erkennungsmelodie des Gary Cooper-Film "The Shopworn Angel" (1929), in dem ihn Nancy Carroll vorstellte:

 

I was on my way to Doctor Cupid

I was all upset I was in doubt

Suddenly I laugh'd with glee

There was nothing wrong with me

For I guess'd what it was all about

 

Chorus:

Why does my heart miss a beat

At some footsteps on the street

It's a precious little thing called love

Why am I content alone

When I know someone will phone

It's a precious little thing calles love

I see a day in June a wedding tune

A honeymoon cruise

Friends I know who will throw

Some rice and old shoes

What's the thing makes me say

Heaven's just across the way

It's a precious little thing called love.

 

Skies are very blue now that I've met you

Day and night there's joy in all my dreams

Flowers tell the birds and bees

Now the birdies tell the trees

Anyway that's just the way it seems.

 

Chorus
