Big Blue Diamond - Percy Sledge

Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, on her finger

(On her finger)

Yes, 'stead of a little band of gold

(Big blue diamond)

Big diamonds (big blue diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)

Tell a story of the love

That the one man could ever hold

(Of them all)

She wanted more than I had money to buy

So she left me, then got lonesome, I am told

Big diamonds, blue diamonds

Now she’ll trade them in

For love behind little band of gold

(Little diamonds)

Big diamonds (big diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)

How they sparkle

But what can they do to warm your soul?

(Warm her soul)

When you’re lonesome in the moonlight

Want the lovin', yes

Big as diamonds (diamonds)

They’re blue diamonds (diamonds)

They’re so wreckless and cold

(Big blue diamonds)

I’d gladly do my part to mend her broken heart

But the last one over grows cold

Big diamonds (diamonds)

Big blue diamonds (blue diamonds)

I don’t want them, no-no

I just want a love behind a band of gold

(A band of gold)
