Lyrics
Old Faded Diamond
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The stone and the ring on your finger
Don’t shine quite the way its once did
That old sparkling cluster has lost all its luster
And it shows all the flaws it once hid
And i knew when i bought it, that it wasn’t perfect
And that gave it some character then
But i find myself wishin' it was shiney and new once again
What do you do with an old faded diamond
That just doesn’t sparkle the way it once did
Is it worth all the hassle to polish the tarnish away
What do you do with an old faded diamond
When time hasn’t been a good friend
Can a three quarter karat be something to stare at again
At one time our love flowed so easy
But these days it don’t show at all
When we get together, its just like we never
Cared for each other at all
When you took off your ring and said it don’t mean a thing
I know it’s the shape it was in
And i'd like to repair it but i just don’t know where to begin
