Jamey Johnson - Old Faded Diamond lyrics

The stone in the ring on your finger It don't shine quite the way it once did That old sparkling cluster, has lost all its luster And it shows all the flaws it once hid And I knew when I bought it, that it wasn't perfect And that gave it some character then But I find myself wishin' it was shiney and new Once again What do you do, with an old faded diamond That just doesn't sparkle, the way it once did Is it worth all the ha**le, to polish the tarnish away What do you do with an old faded diamond When time hasn't been a good friend Can a three-quarter karat be something to stare at again At one time our love flowed so easy But these days it don't show at all When we get together, its just like we never Cared for each other at all And when you took off your ring and said it don't mean a thing I noticed the shape it was in And I'd like to repair it but I just don't know Where to begin What do you do, with an old faded diamond That just doesn't sparkle, the way it once did Is it worth all the ha**le, to polish the tarnish away What do you do with an old faded diamond When time hasn't been a good friend Can a three-quarter karat be something to stare at again Can a three-quarter karat be something to stare at again
