Suzy Bogguss - Diamonds And Tears lyrics

Spent my life looking for Happiness like it was Buried treasure Somewhere behind a secret door Surely there were riches Beyond measure I would take my sanity to task Walk across broken gla** 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 he'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 cross bridges while they burn To keep from losin' what i've learned -along the way (rc)
