Neil Leslie Diamond (born January 24, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Diamond was one of the more successful pop music performers, scoring a number of hits in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. As critic William Ruhlmann writes, "as of 2001, he claimed worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was ranked third, behind only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most successful adult contemporary artists in the history of the Billboard chart."[1] As of May 2005 he has sold 120 million records worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S.[2] Though his record sales declined somewhat after the 1980s, Diamond continues to tour successfully, and maintains a very loyal following. Diamond's songs have been recorded by a vast array of performers from many different musical genres. Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and then in 2000 was given its Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award.

Gold Don't Rust Lyrics
Neil Diamond
Words and Music by Neil Diamond, Gary Burr and Bob DiPiero
I know you worry ev'ry time I go away.
You wonder will these sweet, sweet feelings shine or fade.
Well, that's a question you don't have to ask.
What heaven makes, it always makes to last.
Gold don't rust. Love don't lie.
I'll be true 'til the day that I die.
Trust in me; you will find, baby, you're the gold in this heart of mine,
and that gold will shine for a long, long time.
I wish that I could give you what you need from me.
But what good is a promise or a guarantee?
Love is still a simple act of faith.
And a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
Gold don't rust. Love don't lie.
I'll be true 'til the day that I die.
Trust in me; you will find, baby, you're the gold in this heart of mine,
and that gold will shine for a long, long time.
Love is still a simple act of faith.
And a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
Gold don't rust. Love don't lie.
I'll be true 'til the day that I die.
Trust in me; you will find, baby, you're the gold in this heart of mine,
and that gold will shine for a long, long time.
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine,
and that gold will shine for a long, long, long time, yeah.
