Diamond Days
Jimmy MacCarthy
I have written this song
For you to take with you
When you go away
Something to sing and slowly swing to
On your colder days
I have made a start
With a verse and a Chorus
The rest I leave to you
And when next I see your smiling face
We might sing it right through
I'll be your sweetheart always
And I'll love the memories of the Diamond Days
I'll keep a candle burning
'Till we sing again the Diamond Days
If the words don't rhyme
Then I will forgive you
That won't be the crime
But the staring space
Upon the page
That might look like mine
I have made a start
With a verse and a Chorus
The rest I'll leave to you
And when next I see your smiling face
We might sing it right through
I'll be your sweetheart always
And I'll love the memories of the Diamond Days
I'll keep a candle burning
'Till we sing again the Diamond Days
