To begin a new life You got to break up the old one And get back in line It could be that you're down And gone for the moment Even when you're feeling just fine Something just showed me the truth in that life And gave me a reason to live It takes me back to when i nearly went blind And keeps my heart straight moving on Life has diamonds and pearls But for sure not in this world Life has silver and gold You gotta catch it before you grow old ♪ To collect memories Just like words on a bookshelf And let them all grow Some of them sure got me tossing and turning Beside my bed the nightlight glows Something just showed me the faith in that night And gave me a reason to live It brings shimmering Into the darkness of my mind And keeps my heart straight moving on Life has diamonds and pearls But for sure not in this world Life has silver and gold You gotta catch it before you grow old ♪ Something just showed me That truth in that life And gave me a reason to live It takes me back to when i nearly went blind And keeps my heart straight moving on Life has diamonds and pearls But for sure not in this world Life has silver and gold You gotta catch it before you grow old
