Diamonds To Dust

Don Williams



Love is a question that few understand

It runs like a river between a woman and a man

But its course can get twisted, its bed can run dry

and a heart become desert in the wink of an eye



Once there was loving, once there was trust

Once it was honest and open and just

Our love was a diamond that grew between us

But time can turn even diamonds to dust



Diamond to dust, oh diamonds to dust

Time can turn even diamonds to dust



Time is a teacher it’s kind and it’s cruel

It gives you the wisdom to see you’re a fool

And it gives love and takes love, it hurts and it heals

And it never parts easy with the truth it reveals



Diamond to dust, oh diamonds to dust

Time can turn even diamonds to dust
