Diamonds She'll Never Wear Tonight I went out and picked up some Stax records and diamonds she'll never wear call her up, tell her I'm coming straight home tell her I love her hoping things are all right over there in the warmth of her soul, there's this stranger I know and it takes all my time to get inside whether rain pours down or a big sun shining all of the time I'll be workin', thinkin' about coming home to my baby on the upper west side Stringing gold and silver lights on a pretty Christmas tree smiles all around I can remember hugs n' kisses to the misses, queen of the house she's the purpose in me from running through the sprinklers to walking down the aisle we've gone together with style and it takes all my time to remember back to the snow fallin' down on her long flowing hair, shiny and black I was captured in that moment, walking home saw my baby walking down railroad tracks Believing and trusting that everything's gonna turn out all right relieving to know how far we had to go to become one at night when we turned out that light and found our hard-won wonderland there a land full of Stax records and diamonds she'll never wear Drivng home tonight, via A.M. radio playing Stax records like suits I used to wear call her up, tell her I'm coming straight home tell her I need her can't wait to run my fingers through her hair in the warmth of my soul, well I know, I know it'll take all my time to get back inside 'cause it's cold as hell out here and a big moon shines like a new dime I've been workin', dyin' to get back home to my baby queen of the upper west side you know it's true gonna suprise her with diamonds she'll never wear and a ruby dress too gonna find my purpose (yes I am) the moment I run my fingers through her hair "I'm the soul drifter, and I'm out of this town, ain't no use hangin' round, you see" -- Lindsey Buckingham, 'Soul Drifter' |

This has some snazzy snappy rhythms in it, and the happy tone is contagious. I saw a happy and contented man in my mind's eye and oh that made me smile.  Sounds to me like she already outshines the diamonds.  |

"Drivng home tonight, via A.M. radio playing Stax records like suits I used to wear call her up, tell her I'm coming straight home tell her I need her" I agree with Serenity. This poem sings a lovely tune. |
