Diamonds

Rihanna · Unapologetic [2012]

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond (Diamond)



Find light in the beautiful sea

I choose to be happy

You and I, you and I

We're like diamonds in the sky



You're a shooting star I see

A vision of ecstasy

When you hold me, I'm alive

We're like diamonds in the sky



I knew that we'd become

One right away, Oh right away

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays

I saw the life inside your eyes



So shine bright, tonight, you and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye, so alive

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shining bright like a diamond

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shining bright like a diamond

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Palms rise to the universe

As we moonshine and molly

Feel the warmth we'll never die

We're like diamonds in the sky



You're a shooting star I see

A vision of ecstasy

When you hold me, I'm alive

We're like diamonds in the sky



At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays

I saw the life inside your eyes



So shine bright, tonight, you and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye, so alive

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shining bright like a diamond

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shining bright like a diamond

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond



So shine bright, tonight, you and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Eye to eye, so alive

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond! Oh-Ho-Yay!



Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond (Whoa-Oh-Oh)

Shine bright like a diamond, shine bright like a diamond
