Diamonds And Tears Lyrics

Diamonds And Tears lyrics

Spent my life looking for

 Happiness like it was buried treasure

 Somewhere behind the secret door

 Surely there were riches beyond measure

 I would take my sanity to task

 Walk across broken glass to find it

 And no mountain top was left unclimbed

 Before I ever took the time to look inside me

 

 These dreams of mine, these precious years      

 Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears

 The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears

 Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears 

 

 Oh sure, there was love

 And of course I thought it'd be my salvation

 And in a way, I guess he was

 There's always room for higher education

 

 Yes, I have said and heard the word goodbye

 Felt the blade and turned the knife sideways

 But I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn

 To keep from losing what I've learned along the way

 

 These dreams of mine, these precious years

 Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears

 The slow grace of time, the joy and the fears

 Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears
