"Big Blue Diamonds" lyrics - 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)
