DIAMONDS IN THE RAIN
(Mander McPherson)


Jeannie C. Riley - 1979



I know what it is to cry
Fear the day I'd have to die
I've looked around with eyes that couldn't see
But in the early mornin' light 
Came to me a brand new sight
When your love came sweepin' over me

And I feel it in the mornin' dew 
It makes the grass look just like new
I see it touch a heart full of pain
And when I look around to see
Oh Lord, then it comes to me
Your love is just like diamonds in the rain

Seen a day I couldn't cry
Seen a day I'd rather die
And wish there was a way I could be free
But then I saw a light break through
Givin' life I never knew
When your love came sweepin' over me

And I feel it in the mornin' dew 
It makes the grass look just like new
I see it touch a heart full of pain
And when I look around to see
Oh Lord, then it comes to me
Your love is just like diamonds in the rain
Why, your love is just like diamonds in the rain
