It amazed you how I'd come alive
each year 'round every Christmas time
That happiness growing deep inside
Our special time of year
Christmas had me runnin' round
buying secret gifts all over town
It amazed you how I'd come alive
each year 'round every Christmas time
That happiness growing deep inside
Our special time of year
Christmas had me runnin' round
buying secret gifts all over town
But you'd never see me wear a frown
as long as you were near

One night you held me to your chest
saying I was "meant to be your wife"
You smiled and said I was "the best"
And you'd always cherish me for life


You said I was your Christmas diamond
handing me a velvet case
A golden heart and necklace inside
that gorgeous smile upon your face
and at the center a single stone
You said the heart was you
And the stone was me, your Christmas diamond
to shine the whole year through

When Christmas rolls around again
I still feel it's our time of year
It's bitter sweet for me sometimes
knowing you're no longer here
But then I touch that golden necklace
You gave me all those years ago
And I become your Christmas diamond
Your love setting my heart aglow

You said I was your Christmas diamond
handing me a velvet case
A golden heart and necklace inside
that gorgeous smile upon your face
at the center a single stone
You said the heart was you
And the stone was me, your Christmas diamond
to shine the whole year through


When I close my eyes I can still see
us standing there next to the tree
You holding me against your chest
You're my greatest gift and will always be

You said I was your Christmas diamond
handing me a velvet case
A golden heart and necklace inside
that gorgeous smile upon your face
at the center a single stone
You said the heart was you
And the stone was me, your Christmas diamond
to shine the whole year through

I love being your Christmas diamond
shining just for you
