Little sister don't you cry   Lay your head down, close your eyes   Your heart is aching, mine is aching for you      Little sister don't you cry   Lay your head down close your eyes   And dream of when before your man looked at you   Diamonds always shine      You'll find true love again   The mud gets washed off with the rain   Diamonds always shine      Little sister, look at me   Do you see the lines around my eyes?   They trace the tracks of the tears I cried inside   For a boy who loved me true   Who found somehow, like you,   He could not see the point in going on    Diamonds always shine      You'll find true love again   The mud gets washed off with the rain   Diamonds always shine   Diamonds always shine
