Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe, as the moon shines on me
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
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
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
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

i'm impressed by The Spines ability to remain in character when he's singing so passionately.. i know this is an older video, but it has such an impact it should never be forgotten
Harris Farr
Well the vocal recording isn’t from the lip singing in the video. He’s not actually singing in the video. That’s how you make a music video... his vocals are recorded in a studio into a microphone
Bailey Mackey
@Harris Farr but he still lips it
Bailey Mackey
One of my friends showed me this to show diversity in one voice actor, but that was a bonus
Evils clone
@Harris Farr its more impressive how well he can sync up to the music, and yet keep his body in such well controll
Lord Candy
i feel this statement is still true today!
Princess Luna
I love that Spines vocal range is so great that he can sing harmonies with himself.
Raine Courville
Good point your majesty.
Grizel Sánchez Camacho
That was the reason I stayed on this video.
Kellsville
This is still my favorite cover of the song. Any time I hear Rihanna’s version I always feel like it falls short of Spine’s.
