'til It Shines Songtext

von Al Denson

In a world of dimestore diamonds
We're all lookin' for a gem
You might even find a blossom
In a field of stones and stems
But inside there lies a treasure
Beneath the layers of honest grime
Could You buff this rusted halo
Of this angel out of time
‘Till it shines
‘Till it shines
Walkin' through the streets of Dallas
On a cold dark windy night
There's a beggar on the corner
Barely hangin' onto life
But if hope could be his blanket
And if faith could be his wine
He'd be new again tomorrow
I believe he still has time
‘Till it shines
‘Till it shines
Your love is my compass
Come show me the way
With You there's no drivin' blind
Help me to polish each moment
Each dream left behind
‘Till it shines
In a world of dimestore diamonds
You know I found myself a gem
Love's a flower that can blossom
In a field of stones and stems
Deep inside You placed Your treasure
Now You can see it in my eyes
Could You buff this rusted halo
Only You would take the time
‘Till it shines
‘Till it shines
