Diamond Mine

First time I saw you, you were talking

People paid attention when you spoke

But more than your words

Goodness was what I heard

Shining like a galaxy, solid as an oak

All the reasons I loved you that day

All the reasons I chose to stay

All the reasons I traveled so far

Pale before the knowledge of what you truly are

You have my heart

You get my time

You have a big piece of my faith

You are a diamond mine

It’s decades now we’ve been together

And in the good, pain has been interspersed

But I’m not keeping score

With you I’m never bored

More than love and laughter, you expand my universe

Seeker of truth, believer in none

Sharper than a laser, childlike in fun

After all these years together, who’d think it was true?

But I’m falling in love in a brand new way with you

You have my heart

You get my time

You have a big piece of my faith

You are a diamond mine

You are my diamond mine
