In a world of dimestore diamonds We're all lookin' for a gem You might even find a blossom In a field of stones and stems But inside there lies a treasure Beneath the layers of honest grime Could You buff this rusted halo Of this angel out of time 'Till it shines 'Till it shines Walkin' through the streets of Dallas On a cold dark windy night There's a beggar on the corner Barely hangin' onto life But if hope could be his blanket And if faith could be his wine He'd be new again tomorrow I believe he still has time 'Till it shines 'Till it shines Your love is my compass Come show me the way With You there's no drivin' blind Help me to polish each moment Each dream left behind 'Till it shines In a world of dimestore diamonds You know I found myself a gem Love's a flower that can blossom In a field of stones and stems Deep inside You placed Your treasure Now You can see it in my eyes Could You buff this rusted halo Only You would take the time 'Till it shines 'Till it shines
