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 young men
   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
