Diamonds And Tears

Matraca Berg Diamonds And Tears written by Matraca Berg Gary Harrison Eddie Bayers drums Leland Sklar bass Larry Byrom acoustic guitar Dann Huff guitar Matt Rollings piano Paul Franklin steel guitar Dan Dugmore steel guitar Jana King harmony Spent my life looking for Happiness like it was buried treasure Somewhere behind the secret door Surely there were riches beyond measure I would take my sanity to task Walk across broken glass to find it And no mountain top was left unclimbed Before I ever took the time to take a look inside me These dreams of mine these precious years Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears Oh sure, there was love And of course I thought it'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 I'd crossed bridges while they'd burn To keep from losing what I've learned along the way These dreams of mine, these precious years Oh how they shine like diamonds and tears SOLO 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 Matraca Berg From The Thing Called Love soundtrack Giant Records Ensign Music/Warner Tamerlane Publishing Patrick Joseph Music/Maria Belle Music August Wind Music/Longitude Music
