Does anyone recognize these lyrics?

[Old School C]

Hello my soulful brothers and sisters,

There is a song that's been sticking in my mind for quite a long time but I just can't put my finger on it.
It's driving me crazy and I'm hoping one of you might recognize it from a few of the lyrics. All I know is
that it's a slow song from sometime in the mid to late 70's and the group is in the vein of The Chi-lites or
The Stylistics or maybe Blue Magic. Anyway, here are the lyrics as I remember them....

(Precious moments) don't come easy, that's what they say
Sweet affection should grow slowly...and steady...and deeper everyday.
And I may be reaching for a star...I should take the time to know you better
Don't know who you really are...but here we are.

That's as far as I ever get and I'm not positive about the "Precious moments" part.

Anyway, if anyone knows this song I'd appreciate hearing back from you.

Thank you for all of your beautiful uploads and for keeping the music alive.
