About Some Days Are Diamonds (Some Days Are Stone)

"Some Days Are Diamonds (Some Days Are Stone)" is a song written by Dick Feller, and quite different from the humorous and novelty songs he's best known for writing. Feller was the first artist to record the song, in 1976, but his version failed to chart. The song was covered by John Denver on his 1981 album Some Days Are Diamonds. Released in May 1981 as the album's first single, Denver's version peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number one on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.

When you asked how I've been here without you
I'd like to say I've been fine and I do
But we both know the truth is hard to come by
And if I told the truth that's not quite true

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Now the face that I see in my mirror
More and more is a stranger to me
More and more I can see there's a danger
In becoming what I never thought I'd be

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
But sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones

Some days are diamonds, some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
