Diamond In My Crown Lyrics
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
Tho' I'm weary even then
When I rise to start again
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
I have watsted all that life has laid before me
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
But I shall not disavow
All these ties that bind me now
There'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
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Through the passing of the years I will grow stronger
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'round
Then the closer I will be
To my sweetest victory
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found
Tho' I'm weary even then
When I rise to start again
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown
But I shall not disavow
All these ties that bind me now
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
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
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning 'round
Then the closer I will be
To my sweetest victory
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown

I hadn't heard this artist in ages, she was one of my mothers' favourite artists!
