The stone and the ring on your finger Don’t shine quite the way its once did That old sparkling cluster has lost all its luster And it shows all the flaws it once hid And i knew when i bought it, that it wasn’t perfect And that gave it some character then But i find myself wishin' it was shiney and new once again What do you do with an old faded diamond That just doesn’t sparkle the way it once did Is it worth all the hassle to polish the tarnish away What do you do with an old faded diamond When time hasn’t been a good friend Can a three quarter karat be something to stare at again At one time our love flowed so easy But these days it don’t show at all When we get together, its just like we never Cared for each other at all When you took off your ring and said it don’t mean a thing I know it’s the shape it was in And i'd like to repair it but i just don’t know where to begin
