Lyrics:
Diamonds to Dust
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Dan O’Rourke (BMI)
Chorus:
From dust onto diamonds
Diamonds to dust
We started from nothing
And wound up as us
Our love was something
Now it’s something that was
From dust onto diamonds
Diamonds to dust
Verse:
Look what we’ve done
The tears that we’ve cried
We took something beautiful
Turned it into good-bye
Found no salvation
No matter how hard we tried
Ain’t that the way love goes
When you don’t get it right
Repeat Chorus:
Verse:
So easy to lose
But it’s so hard to find
Our love was so close to being
That one of a kind
We held on so tight
And oh how we shined
But even the brightest stars
Fade in the night
