Rockapella - Diamonds LYRICS

Kanako Nakayama and Kaori Okui, English lyrics Ralph McCarthy)

In the chilly waters of the fountain
At the great museum
Dangle your feet and look up to the sky
Let me take a photograph of you like that
I'm still not sure if I believe my eyes

In the golden afternoon
I cruise around the town with you
And when the evening comes we'll have a glass of wine
Simple little pleasures, they're ours forever
See how they sparkle and shine

* Counting down seconds to the millennium
Every beat of your heart in rhythm with mine
Every scene's another prize for my collection
Every kiss, every touch a wonderful find
I never will let go, I'll never leave you, NO
I wanna hold you close until the end of time

** Diamonds, that's what they are
Oh (oh) these memories we're making now
Oh (oh) I can't explain it well, but this I know
They will never lose their glow
Shining like a sky full of stars
Oh (oh) our love will never let us down
Oh (oh) all of the brilliant moments yet to come
All of them diamonds

Got an eyeful at the tower
Took the Bat-o-bus upriver
Kissed in the garden next to Notre Dame
We don't speak the lingo
But we're so in love it's plain
People dig us just the same

Love the room at our hotel
That Jean-Phillipe is always helpful
How do you pronounce it now, Le Vieux Marais?
Walk down to the plaza by the funny building
Where all the street musicians play

* ** ** Repeat
