Artist/Band: Bobby Bare
Lyrics for Song: Some Days Are Diamonds
Lyrics for Album: Down & Dirty [Raven] [2006]



(Dick Feller)



Chorus:

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone

Somedays the hard times won't leave us alone

Sometimes the cold wind brought chill to my bones

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone.



How the face that I see in the mirror

More and more is a stranger to me

More and more I can see there's a danger

In becoming what I never thought I'll be.



Chorus:

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone

Somedays the hard times won't leave us alone

Sometimes the cold wind brought chill to my bones

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone.



So when you ask how I've been here without you

I like to say I've been fine and so I did

But we both know the truth is hard to come by

And if I told the truth, that's not quit true.



Chorus:

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone

Somedays the hard times won't leave us alone

Sometimes the cold wind brought chill to my bones

Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone.



Somedays are diamonds, somedays are stone...
