Acres Of Diamonds
©1993 Dakota Sid Clifford


Acres of diamonds could light up the sky
Ain't a-one of them worth a sad tear in your eye
Acres of diamonds, rubies and gold
I would not trade them all for the one that's so small
Worn on the hand that I hold

        There are no mysteries if the questions are pure
        Love is the answer, caring, the cure
        It don't take no genius, it's hard not to know
        Peace of mind will come easy to those who let go

Acres of diamonds that light up the sky
Ain't a-one of them worth a single tear in your eye
Acres of diamonds, rubies and gold
I would not trade them all for the one that's so small
Worn on the hand that I hold

Instrumental (chorus):

        Riches and glory, power and fame
        Some are born to it, with little to gain
        A man with a family, good friends and a home
        Don't need no accounting, to count what he owns

Acres of diamonds that light up the sky
Ain't a-one of them worth a sad tear in your eye
Acres of diamonds, rubies and gold
I would not trade them all for the one that's so small
Worn on the hand that I hold
