TEARDROPS TO DIAMONDS

TEARDROPS TO DIAMONDS
by I. Kramer

Flashing lights from the motel sign
Don’t keep me up anymore at night
Been to long since my luck has gone bad
Does she wait by the telephone
Still hoping for some prince to call
A wealthy man to buy her young girl dreams

But if I only had her near me
I could hold the winning hand
And if teardrops turned to diamonds
I would be the richest man

I never found any pot of gold
Hell, I ain’t seen a damned rainbow
Since I forget how many miles ago

But if I only had her near me
I could hold the winning hand
And if teardrops turned to diamonds
I would be the richest man

I hope time’s taught her more gently
Than these lonely years taught me
The things truly priceless
Like love, faith, and family

But if I only had her near me
I could hold the winning hand
And if teardrops turned to diamonds
I would be the richest man

Flashing lights from the motel signs
Don’t keep me up any more at night
