Diamonds
Josef & Salvat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky

At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

So shine bright tonight, you and I
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye, so alive
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh
Shine bright like a diamond, ooh oh




Shine bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky

Amazing version. Sounds so fragile and has that hint of sadness to it which makes it so epic.

@XPiquemal

It s not just the voice, it s the interpretation of the song, the intonation in the voice. Well done Josef.
