Diamonds In Your Eyes
"There's a diamond in the sky, there's a distant falling star,
And a diamond's remnants fly o'er the silent land afar.
All the world is softly sleeping and I find you here alone,
Tell me, child, why you're weeping, why you're out here on your own.
"I see diamonds in your eyes slipping down a silver trace,
And a diamond's remnants lie, making sparkles on your face;
All these diamonds formed of sadness I will gently brush away,
Hoping diamonds formed of gladness in your eyes will come to stay."
"When the wind is sobbing by and it's crying in the night,
When I hear its mournful sigh then I close my eyelids tight,
For I hear the distant voices of my sister and my dad,
And I think of all the places we have gone and times we had."
"Little girl, I cannot say why it was that things were so,
But whatever comes our way, I hope you will always know
That I too am softly weeping, and my heart is torn in two;
Come, if I'm awake or sleeping, I will love and comfort you."
