Lyrics

How Do You Hold A Diamond

I know you?re all I ever wanted
I been waiting twenty years
I?ve seen you go through life
Seen the laughter and the tears

All, I ever wanted was to hold you
Tell you it would be all right
I dreamed about you girl
Dreamed about you day and night

Chorus
How do you hold a diamond
When all you ever held is glass
Every poor man knows
Dreams just don?t last
With the passing of time
Poor man?s world wears thin
As much as I love that diamond
I?ve no gold to set it in

So, I?m gonna watch you walk away
As hard as it will be
I loved you for so long
There?s not much left of me

But just a diamond
Holds it beauty through the years
Alone in my memories
I?ll always hold you dear

Chorus
How do you hold a diamond
When all you ever held is glass
Every poor man knows
Dreams just don?t last
With the passing of time
Poor man?s world wears thin
As much as I love that diamond
I?ve no gold to set it in
So, I?ll set you free
