Her Diamonds

I'm sure a lot of you already know this, but I just heard today that Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty's wife, Marisol, suffers from a "Lupus-like autoimmune disease" and that he wrote this song about it. Heard the lyrics to the song so many times, but now they have so much more meaning. Wonder if most of our partners feel the same way.

Rob Thomas ? Her Diamonds Lyrics
Oh what the heck she says
I just can?t win for losing
And she lays back downT
Man there?s so many times
I don?t know what I?m doin?
Like I don?t know now

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Says it?s funny how the night
Can make you blind
I can just imagine
And I don?t know what I?m supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says ooh
I can?t take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can?t help her now
She?s down in it
She tried her best and now she can?t win it?s
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don?t feel right

By the light of the moon
She rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there?s something less about her
And I don?t know what I?m supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don?t let her see

And she says ooh
I can?t take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can?t help her now
She?s down in it
She tried her best and now she can?t win it?s
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
She?ll be all right
She?ll be all right
Just not tonight

And she says ooh
I can?t take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
Cuz I can?t help her now
She?s down in it
She tried her best and now she can?t win it?s
Hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

Diamonds..
"Lucy Vodden, the subject of a Julian Lennon drawing that inspired his father, John, to write the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's classic "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," passed away last week after a long battle with lupus. Vodden, formerly Lucy O' Donnell, was 46. In a statement, Julian and his mother Cynthia Lennon said they were "shocked and saddened" by Vodden's death, the Associated Press reports.

As the story goes, in 1966, Julian Lennon brought home a drawing of his classmate Lucy, describing the image of the girl as "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."
