Patty Loveless - Diamond In My Crown lyrics

As each long day rolls by and falls behind me In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown I have wasted all that life has laid before me I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown Shining down some day I know Brighter than all their streets of gold When the burdens that I carry I will lay down And the sorrows I have known I'll see them all overthrown There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown
