Diamonds To Dust

Don Williams

Love is a question that few understand

It runs like a river between a woman and a man

But its course can get twisted, its bed can run
dry

and a heart become desert in the wink of an eye

Once there was loving, 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

Diamond 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

Diamond to dust, oh diamonds to dust

Time can turn even diamonds to dust
