Diamonds In Your Hand

about

For Carlo R.I.P.

lyrics

the ones that nearly drive you up a wall
will be the ones to catch you when you fall
and when you run away
they can find you any day
you can never hide forever from a friend

the ones who have some chore for you to do
will be the ones to tell you what is true
and even when it hurts
when they drag you through the dirt
they'll be the ones who make you whole again

the ones you love are diamonds in your hand
hold them just as tightly as you can
the bitter will be sweet oh you only got to treat
the ones you love like they're diamonds in your hand

you don't come by a diamond every day
they're sometimes very far away
but whenever you're alone
and your boat is full of stones
just remember there's a diamond shining somewhere

you can take these diamonds everywhere you go
you can hide them in the lining of your coat
and when your coat grows thin
you can cash your diamonds in
as long as there's a little left to share

the ones you love are diamonds in your hand
so hold them just as tightly as you can
the bitter will be sweet oh you only got to treat
the ones you love like they're diamonds in your hand
the ones you love-- they're diamonds in your hand
