A Dusty Diamond

Nervous? Yeah, I said 'awesome' about five times! LOL Speaking softly so I wouldn't wake my wife in the next room, then upping the volume about 30 dB on the song! But it's all true (she never stirred btw- wish I could sleep and dream like she does).

Brought up a poor boy in little towns
I've gotten used to those hand-me-downs
But something from mama that made me sing
Was a dusty diamond in a rusty ring

Strong as a rock was my daddy's pride
He worked for pennies 'til the day he died
But he saved his money for one simple thing
A shiny diamond in a shiny ring

I've tried to show my sweet love for you
But I can't tell if you love me too
All I can offer is just one thing
This dusty diamond in a rusty ring

You know they're gone now, my Mom and Dad
But this ring still burns with the love they had
So if you love me, you'll let me bring
This dusty diamond in a rusty ring

I've tried to show my sweet love for you
But I can't tell if you love me too
All I can offer is just one thing
This dusty diamond in a rusty ring,
This dusty diamond in a rusty ring

No doubt! My favorite songwriter in Y.T. This song is a real Gem, the real thing Buddy!

I´ll cover this song for sure, might have to lower the tone a bit.

What a beauty Lee, Nº I and more...

My rating is way off the scale!, Hats Off!

Cheers!

Hi, Danny! Man what a fast response- lol!

Yes. all my vids are original, except a cover of Del Shannon's 'Runaway" that my cousin & I did on the road in a duo back in Feb. '92.

Thank you, man!!

Play on, bud- YOU WILL DO WELL.
