Matraca Berg - Diamonds & Tears Lyrics
(matraca berg/gary harrison)Spent my life looking forHappiness like it was buried treasureSomewhere behind the secret doorSurely there were riches beyond measureI would take my sanity to taskWalk across broken glass to find itAnd no mountain top was left unclimbedBefore I ever took the time to take a look inside meThese dreams of mine these precious yearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tearsOh sure, there was loveAnd of course I thought itd be my salvationAnd in a way, I guess he wasTheres always room for higher educationYes, I have said and heard the word goodbyeFelt the blade and turned the knife sidewaysId crossed bridges while theyd burnTo keep from losing what Ive learned along the wayThese dreams of mine these precious yearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tearsThese dreams of mine these precious yearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tearsThe slow grace of time, the joy and the fearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tears
