Diamonds to dust, oh, diamonds to dust
Time can turn even diamonds to dust
Diamonds to dust, oh, diamonds to dust
Time can turn even diamonds to dust

Love is a question that few understand
It runs like a river between a woman and man
But its course can get twisted and its bed can run dry
And our hearts become deserts in the wink of an eye

Once there was love here and 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

Diamonds 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

Diamonds to dust, oh, diamonds to dust
Time can turn even diamonds to dust
Diamonds to dust, oh, diamonds to dust
Time can turn even diamonds to dust
