Keep the Flowers, Send Diamonds Lyrics

Roses are sweet but they wither too soon

And love's just a song that drifts out of tune

I don't need petals or ribbons or rhyme

Give me a gift that can outlast time

You wrote me a poem how darling how quaint

But darling let's talk about gold and restraint

If you plan to win me then here's your clue

Romance is nice but carats will do

Oh keep the flowers send diamonds instead

A sparkle's worth more than the words you have said!

Love may be fleeting but one thing is clear

A girl's best friend lasts year after year!

Chocolate's divine but it melts in the sun

And letters? They fade once the ink starts to run

If you want a place in this heart of mine

Make sure the gift comes with a shine!

Mmm I do adore a gentleman's touch

But let's not pretend that I ask for too much

Sincerity's fine but a little off-track

Wrap up your love in a Tiffany's sack

Oh keep the flowers send diamonds instead

A sparkle's worth more than the words you have said!

Love may be fleeting but one thing is clear

A girl's best friend lasts year after year!

So darling be wise don't waste my time

If you're gonna love me then love me in shine

A kiss is a start but jewels seal the deal

Diamonds my dear now that's how I feel
