Diamond shining bright in the rain. Everybody dreams of angels. No one would ever know. How much I love you so. Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream. Things ain't always what they seem. What a shame, what happened to Jayne. You were always on my mind. Shine like a summer day in the sun.

Things ain't always what they seem. What a shame. What happened to Jayne. Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven. Shining bright in the sky. I still hear her voice in the wind. I still think of you in the night, oh yeah. Well, I guess she'll never know. How much I need her so.
