[Verse 1]
As a little girl I came down to the water
With a little stone in my hand
And it would shimmer and sing
And we knew everything
As a little girl I came down
[Verse 2]
In a little while I got steeped in authority
Heaven only knows what went wrong
There is nothing so cruel
Than to bury that jewel
And it was mine all along
I'm gonna find it
[Chorus]
You're shining—I can see you
You're smiling—that's enough
Oh, and I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
[Verse 3]
Every now and then
I can see I am getting somewhere
Where I have to go is so deep
I was angry back then
And I guess I still am
But I have lost too much sleep
And I'm gonna find it
[Chorus]
You're shining—I can see you
You're smiling—that's enough
Oh, I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
[Verse 4]
And in my dreams I go down to the water
With a little girl in my arms
And we shimmer and sing
And we know everything
In my dreams I go down
[Chorus]
You're shining—I can see you
You're smiling—that's enough
Oh, I'm holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
You're shining—I can see you
You're smiling—that's enough
And I am holding on to you
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
Like a diamond in the rough
[Outro]
Thank you. I hope you enjoyed it. I did. And we'll see you again next time. Thank you.
