Big Blue Diamonds

Big diamonds, big blue diamonds on her finger
Instead of a little band of gold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds tell the story
Of the love that no man could hold

She wanted more than I had money to buy
So she left me then got lonesome, I'm told
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
Now she'll trade them
For a love behind a little band of gold

Big diamonds, big blue diamonds how they sparkle
But what can they do to warm your soul?
When you're lonesome in the moonlight, you want loving
Big blue diamonds aren't so heartless and cold

I'd gladly do my part to mend a broken heart
But love that's warmed-over soon grows cold
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds
I don't want them
I just want a love behind a little band of gold
