Diamonds and pearls Songtext

von Cheryl Cormier

A girl just barely seventeen
A man with hands of gold
All the warmth in his eyes
Brought me to his side
For always, to have and to hold
He took me to far away places
Showed me things I'd never seen
All this beauty and grace
Did little to replace
The one thing that I really need

Chorus:
You gave me the world
In diamonds and pearls
And all that you knew how to give
But, what I needed more
You couldn't afford
So you gave me diamonds and pearls

At times my life was a fairy tale
And you were my handsome prince
As those years passed on by
I soon realized
I never wanted all this

Chorus
