Diamond In My Crown Lyrics

by Emmylou Harris

As each long day rolls by and falls behind meIn the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
Tho' I'm weary even then
When I rise to start again
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
I have watsted all that life has laid before meI have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
But I shall not disavow

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e45509-emmylou_harris~diamond_in_my_crown_lyrics.html ]
All these ties that bind me now
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Shinning down some day I know
Brighter than all their streets of gold
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down
And the sorrows I have known
I'll see them all be overthrown
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Through the passing of the years
I will grow strongerJust as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'round
Then the closer I will beTo my sweetest victory
Ther'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
