Diamond In My Crown Lyrics - Mountain Soul Ii - Patty Loveless

As each long day rolls by and falls behind me 

In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found 

Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again 

There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown 

I have wasted all that life has laid before me 

I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown 

But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now 

There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown 

Shinning down someday I know brighter than all their streets of gold 

When the burdens that I carry I will lay down 

And the sorrows I have known I'll see them all be overthrown 

There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown 

Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory 

There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
