GETTING STARTED ISN’T EASY
WHEN THE JOB THAT’S TO BE DONE
IS TO SIT STILL FOR HOURS 
APPLYING RHINESTONES ONE BY ONE
AND I NEED TO REMIND MYSELF 
THAT ONCE I’M IN THE GROOVE
EACH CRYSTAL AS IT SPARKLES
ILLUMINATES MY LOVE FOR YOU

AS I REACH INTO THE PILE 
OF TINY LITTLE STONES
REFRACTING RAYS OF LIGHT 
FROM THE LAMPS AROUND MY HOME
I THINK ABOUT THE PERSON
THIS GARMENT SOON WILL TOUCH
OVERCOME WITH EMOTION
BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

BUT THE PILE WILL GET SMALLER
AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE
THAT MOMENT THAT I LIVE FOR
THIS GIFT FOR YOU FROM ME
I HOPE THAT WHEN YOU SEE IT
A LIGHT COMES FROM ABOVE
TO FILL YOUR FACE WITH RAINBOWS
REFLECTIONS OF MY LOVE

I’LL KEEP WORKING THROUGH THE NIGHT
LISTENING TO MY FAVORITE SONGS
TRYING NOT TO WAKE THE NEIGHBORS
AS I SING ALONG
THIS COULD GO ON FOREVER
BECAUSE MY LOVE WILL NEVER DIE
BUT THERE’S A LIMIT TO THE RHINESTONES
I COULD AFFORD TO BUY

AND AT THIS RATE I’LL BE WORKING THROUGH THE DAWN
AND I’LL KNOW I’M DONE WHEN ALL THE RHINESTONES ARE GONE
AND EVEN THOUGH MY LOVE FOR YOU GOES ON AND ON
MY JOB HERE WILL BE FINISHED WHEN THE LAST RHINESTONE IS GONE

AND I JUST KNOW I’LL BE WORKING THROUGH THE DAWN
AND I’LL BE DONE WHEN ALL THE RHINESTONES ARE GONE
AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU TRY IT ON
OUR LOVE WILL BE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE 
WHEN THE LAST RHINESTONE IS GONE
AND WE CAN FINALLY GET SOME SLEEP 
WHEN THE LAST RHINESTONE IS GONE
AMEN
