DIAMOND AVENUE

You never bring flowers, or talk to her softly If you say you're in love, she won't ask if it's true When you want something new, she'll beg steal or borrow But she'll never ask you to wisper I do If you ask if she wants you She'll do all those sweet things for you She's holding you close, while she looks past your shoulder Whispers those words those words drives you out of your mind She'll make you feel young while the nights growing older She'll help you get dressed, and kiss you good bye If you ask her why she does it She'll ask you why you're not home tonight There was a time When daddy would take her for a ride Her best dress on Those big city lights Would sparkle like diamonds That shine in her eyes Then daddy left her all alone She always knew That someday she'd come back To diamond avenue If you ask her why she does it She'll tell you it's all for diamond avenue There was a time When daddy would take her for a ride Her best dress on Those big city lights Would sparkle like diamonds That shine in her eyes Then daddy left her all alone She always knew That someday she'd come back To diamond avenue
