| to begin a new life
|
| you got to break up the old one
|
| and get back in line
|
| it could be that you’re down
|
| and gone for the moment
|
| even when you’re feeling just fine
|
| something just showed me the truth in that life
|
| and gave me a reason to live
|
| it takes me back to when i nearly went blind
|
| and keeps my heart straight moving on
|
| life has diamonds and pearls
|
| but for sure not in this world
|
| life has silver and gold
|
| you gotta catch it before you grow old
|
| to collect memories
|
| just like words on a bookshelf
|
| and let them all grow
|
| some of them sure got me tossing and turning
|
| beside my bed the nightlight glows
|
| something just showed me the faith in that night
|
| and gave me a reason to live
|
| it brings shimmering
|
| into the darkness of my mind
|
| and keeps my heart straight moving on
|
| life has diamonds and pearls
|
| but for sure not in this world
|
| life has silver and gold
|
| you gotta catch it before you grow old
|
| something just showed me
|
| that truth in that life
|
| and gave me a reason to live
|
| it takes me back to when i nearly went blind
|
| and keeps my heart straight moving on
|
| life has diamonds and pearls
|
| but for sure not in this world
|
| life has silver and gold
|
| you gotta catch it before you grow old |
