Diamond - Tommy Shaw

«See you boys later»

«All right»

«Play hard»

My friends are all detectives

They liked to be protective

'Cause they knew I was the marrying kind

But this time they were helpless

Their Police skills were useless

They knew I’d never pay them any mind

She was shinny

She was bright

If that spelled trouble

Well all right

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see

She looked like a diamond to me

Love’s already hard enough

But when your heart gets tough

You can miss the simple things

You walk right past a rose

As if you never had a nose

Then one day

A little bell rings

Nothing matters anymore

Time to get up off the floor

Time to end this misery

Yeah she looked like a diamond to me

After all my years in this place

My fears slip slowly into space

Nothing but blue sky above

And a sky writer writes the word love

Angels must have been on guard

'Cause man it hit me hard

It was the real thing after all

And I was looking up to see

If she was looking back at me

Yeah I knew she saw me fall

She’d been shattered once before

But that won’t happen any more

Broken glass ain’t what I see

She looked like a diamond all right

She looked like a light in the night

She looked like a diamond to me

Gonna let it shine shine shine all night
