HEARTS NOT DIAMONDS

Salam,

Bila Mak Kecik masuk ke dapur pagi ini, TV sudah terpasang. Dan apabila Mak Kecik jenguk ke ruang keluarga, kelihatan Lauren Bacall dalam satu scene dari filem 'The Fan' di kaca TV. Mak Kecik bukan peminat Lauren Bacall, malahan offhand tak boleh sebut pun nama filem-filemnya tetapi Mak Kecik tahu dia seorang pelakon yang hebat. So I stayed to watch and what I saw, I liked...



Here is the lyric

When the noise dies down
When all the songs are sung
When the world caught the last bus home
When the swing has swung
And thoughts of hearts and diamonds
Start running through my mind
Diamonds seem to cling to me
Hearts get left behind
I always chase those diamonds
Hoping I would shine
Hearts were not my strongest suite
So you were never mine

Anyone who knew
all the things I’ve done
Wouldn’t hesitate to say
she’s the lucky one
But I need hearts not diamonds
You never understood
You don’t know I ‘d leave those sparkling devils if I could
But always not that easy
I can’t let them go
At least through diamonds something last
With hearts you’ll never know

I want it hearts
No one play hearts
Just diamonds

I was trapped in
The set up
No let up
What is hearts not diamonds
I’ve had enough champagne
I don’t care if I don’t fly around the world again
But always not that easy
I don’t know where to stop
I’ve played with diamonds for so long
It’s hard to recognize a heart

I’d give you hearts not diamonds
And all you have to give
It’s quite another world tonight
Keep me from the noise and light
Keep your diamonds
Hold on tight to me
Give your hearts to me
To me…..
