If Tears Were Diamonds

If tears were diamonds

I'd be a diamond cutter for sure

If tears were diamonds

I'd be a diamond cutter for sure

If hope was a doorway

It would be closed forevermore

If life was a canvas

I'd paint a masterpiece of sorrow

If life was a canvas

I'd paint a masterpiece of sorrow

If solitude was a melody

I'd compose a symphony the day before tomorrow

If laughter was a rose

Mine would wither and die

If laughter was a rose

Mine would wither and die

And if tears were diamonds

I'd wear a crown of the memories that survived
