Lyrics

November of '43 On a boat comin' 'cross the sea He left a boy, came back a man She started running' when she saw his face It'd been 655 days Since she held his hand He got down on one knee and pulled out that ring That he bought in Aberdeen And when it hit that New York sky It shined just like a spotlight A star up in the night sky The kind of thing that takes your breath away Her eyes sparkled like that diamond With love beaming from 'em The kind of light that's never gonna fade It's gonna shine For the next 55 years Through the laughter and the tears My grandma always fore that band through atom bombs and a baby boom Dr. King and a man on the moon No it never left her hand On the day she passed away Mama put it on a chain Now and then on special days Mom would wear it around her neck And it would shine just like a spotlight A star up in the night sky The kind of thing that takes your breath away Her eyes sparkled like that diamond With love beaming from 'em The kind of light that's never gonna fade It's gonna shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine Mama said one of these days I'd know why she gave me that ring Sittin' here I know she was right Oh, it's not the biggest stone you've ever seen But girl I can promise you one thing The rest of your life It's gonna shine just like a spotlight A star up in the night sky The kind of thing that takes your breath away your eyes sparkled like that diamond With love beaming from 'em The kind of light that's never, never, never gonna fade It's gonna shine, shine, shine Shine, shine, shine Shine, shine, shine Like a beacon calling me home It's gonna shine Oh yeah, shine, shine, shine
