Lyrics

Some people drink champagne out under the stars While others drink wine leaning over a bar But all that I need dear to make me feel fine Is to know that your love will forever be mine

I'd give an ocean of diamonds or a world filled with flowers To hold you closely for just a few hours Hear you whisper softly that you love me too Would change all the dark clouds to bluest of blue

I don't drink their champagne and I don't drink their wine So if you refuse me my poor heart will pine I'll be so lonely till the day that I die And as long as I live dear you'll still hear me cry

About This Song

Ocean of Diamonds is a beautiful bluegrass gospel waltz written by Lester Flatt and recorded by Flatt & Scruggs in 1962. The 3/4 time signature gives it a gentle, swaying feel that sets it apart from typical 4/4 bluegrass numbers.
