lyrics

The city lights shine through the shimmer of my tears
Lifetimes become moments
Just a glimmer of the years
And I recall with sadness the ring upon your hand
I shake my head and wonder
If I'll ever understand

And nothing shines like diamonds
In the fire of love's despair
A star that burns to blackness
A love... that won't repair

Rings hold and bind us, yet we drift away
They glow in rainbow prisms
These stones of yesterday
In moments of loss and sadness I long to hold you near
But know the bond is shattered
And all we have is fear

And nothing shines like diamonds
In the fire of love's despair
A star that burns to blackness
A love... that won't repair

The facets of our love that we forgot to face
Leave us with imperfections, cleaving peace and grace
If we had only polished where we didn't shine
We would not walk in darkness
Buried deep within this mine... no...

The most valuable of gems known only to kings
Is the love of a woman
Not diamonds on the rings
And if I walk alone now; one ring that once was two
I'll cherish this precious stone
This memory of you

And nothing shines like diamonds
In the fire of love's despair
A star that burns to blackness
A love... that won't repair
