Eyes Are Diamonds

Eyes Are Diamonds

1. Eyes Are Diamonds

Eyes Are Diamonds

(verse 1)

I never knew a shred of love before

you showed me its forms

your untamed gaze is like a hunter's

has anyone ever told you before?

it's truly, really a wild beautiful thing

you see through my being

I'm naked and yet you're bare

you have to see my many faults

camouflage can't mask what is false

you like my delightful disposition 

of being a maiden so fair

can you hear my sacred prayer?

(chorus)

ahh, I'll hold onto these ruby memories

you'll light a fire that burns sapphire

my precious emeralds watch you give our love your all

I am your pearls and your eyes are diamonds

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I didn't think it was possible

words spoken onto soft skin with fingers could be audible

your rough hands trace what belongs to this man

a girl who grew into his woman

but I liked the way we were

and now there's nothing to go back for

my fragile body is yours to protect

I'm now your heart's home and I'll shelter it

(chorus)

ahh, the crown princess became a queen

the little prince became a strong king

the treasure is their union, their jewels are their affection

he is mine, and I am his only diamond

(end chorus)

(chorus)

ahh, I'll hold onto these ruby memories

you'll light a fire that burns sapphire

my precious emeralds watch you give our love your all

I am your pearls and your eyes are diamonds

(end chorus)
