This is totally different and a fine alternative. Interesting story too.

Thanks, Vic.

I like how you lingered on the word "linger" in the choruses. Little details.


Thanks, Herb...

a beautiful diamond
bet it took her breath away
no denying
it sure took mine today

BTW, love your voice!

Thanks, Dewey....

Outstanding song... Love the sparse production and as always, a beautiful vocal by Floyd.

This passage is stunning:

"i dug up a diamond
that wish i'd never seen
got me thinking she's been lying
but i won't intervene
a beautiful diamond
bet it took her breath away
no denying
it sure took mine today"

Excellent work guys.

Bob


Thanks, Bob...

Otherwise, good song! It takes a great voice to manage to carry through such a sparse arrangement. And it sounds so sincere, when you sing it. Well done.


Thanks, James...
