Lyrics
My Diane
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.
My Diane, the one to find the rose on every thorn
Yes, she can
She's my telescopic eye, my Diane
the mirror turned inside itself and you Diane
saw the other side
Blisters shine like diamonds
Wrinkles read like poetry
The light, the light is as black as the night
but she always seems to find me
Oh Diane, the beauty of this world it makes me sad
My Diane dreams in black and white
Sad Diane, longing for a perfect moment
I, Diane, am perfect in your sight
My life is all I have and I will live it the best that I can
and if I wake up in the morning I'll know I've been given another chance.
Take me, take a picture of this
See my face as it is, as it is, as it is, and won't you love me anyway
Make me, make me somebody beautiful
Make me somebody beautiful, if only in your eyes.
Dear Diane, when I am old, alone and cold and shy away
from the strangers passing by,
please Diane, remember me in shades of gray
and show them all, that I was born and lived and died
My life is all I have, and I will live it the best that I can
and if I wake up in the morning I'll know I've been given another chance.
Take me, take a picture of this
See my life as it is, as it is, as it is, and won't you love me anyway
Make me, make me somebody special, if only for you
and for a moment make me me, make me me, make me me
Blisters shine diamonds
Wrinkles read like poetry
The light the light is as black as the night
but she always seems to find me
My life is all I have and I will live it the best that I can
and if I wake up in the morning I'll know I've been given another chance.
Take me, take a picture of this
See my face as it is, as it is, as it is, and won't you love me anyway
Make me, make me somebody beautiful
Make me somebody beautiful, if only in your eyes.
Take me, take a picture of this
See my life as it is, as it is, as it is, and won't you love me anyway
Make me, make me somebody special if only for you
and for a moment make me me, make me me, make me me
