Spent my life looking forHappiness like it was buried treasureSomewhere behind the secret doorSurely there were riches beyond measureI would take my sanity to taskWalk across broken glass to find itAnd no mountain top was left unclimbedBefore I ever took the time to look inside meThese dreams of mine, these precious yearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tearsThe slow grace of time, the joy and the fearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tears Oh sure, there was loveAnd of course I thought it'd be my salvationAnd in a way, I guess he wasThere's always room for higher educationYes, I have said and heard the word goodbyeFelt the blade and turned the knife sidewaysBut I'd crossed bridges while they'd burnTo keep from losing what I've learned along the wayThese dreams of mine, these precious yearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tearsThe slow grace of time, the joy and the fearsOh how they shine like diamonds and tears From Letras Mania
