Then Sue came along
Don't know that I will
I've had it to here
I know it's been done
Don't know that I will
Written by Neil Diamond
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
Song sung blue
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice

Stargazer, probably think I'm crazy,
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Street life, hell in the city.
Say, let me show you the night life.
Street life, hell in the city.
Words and Music by Neil Diamond
Providing the soul, it ain't easy to do
Pass the plate that serves it,
Revealing the heart, you know that some people try
Pass the plate that serves it,
Providing the soul, revealing the heart, surviving the life.
Words and Music by Neil Diamond
Was in the spring
Hands, touchin' hands
Sweet Caroline
But now I
Warm, touchin' warm
Sweet Caroline
Sweet Caroline
Written By Neil Diamond
In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
Touched down and she stole my heart right away.
In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
Yeah, in search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for the night time
I'll talk about plans now Baby, I got plenty
I thank the Lord for the night time
I thank the Lord for the night time
Written by Neil Diamond
I was alone.
You're the story of my life, and every word is true
Stay with me here
The story of my life is very plain to read
This time I'd love you even more.
Over again,
If there was time enough to say
Over again,
Written By Neil Diamond
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it,
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day,
She walks on water, ain't it like her,
Words and Music by Neil Diamond
Yesterday's words
Baby, yesterday's blues

Yesterday's moves
Maybe yesterday's rhyme

SOLITARY MAN
Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving Him
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died too
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man
Bein' where
Love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
Havin' one
Girl who'll love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man

SONG SUNG BLUE
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one 1972 Prophet Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

Lord of my need, need, need

On the wings of a flea
Wind in the plains

STARGAZER
Stargazer, you with your head in the heavens,
you'll never get by walkin' that high off the ground.
Moon dreamer, I've been around and I've seen it;
the higher you get--the harder they let you down.
You pay your dues, it seems forever.
And if you're clever you may be in for a while,
then you're out of style.
and haven't you heard one single word I've said?
Now, I don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, Stargazer.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, StargazerWords and Music by Neil Diamond
STREET LIFE
Hey, let me show you the street life.
Hey, let me show you the finks, the punks, the judge, the junkie.
Stay close to me for a while, for a while, for a while.
Say boy, you got to get street wise.
Hey, little boy, you're a babe in arms, stay out of harm's way
right here with me for a while, for a while, for a while.
You got to really watch out for that street life.
Say, it ain't pretty, you got to know your way around
or somehow you might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt.
Say, let me show you the queens, the dudes,
the class, the crudes, the folks that inhabit the night.
Let me set it right.
I'm gonna give you my warning,
I'm gonna tell you the street's alive the sound of jive,
you've just arrived.
Try it for size for a while, for a while.
You got to really watch out for that street life.
Say, it ain't pretty, you got to know your way around
or somehow you might get hurt, get hurt, get hurt.
Surviving the Life
Surviving the life, got some highs, got some lows,
but the wise man, he knows what it's really about.
When you're doin' without, surviving the life.
when you got to get through any way that you can.
Join the fam'ly of man providing the soul.
ev'ry heart deserves it; you and me, we do.
Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad.
Sing the song that tells it, praise the man that sells it;
you're alive, you might as well be glad.
but it's hard to get by without giving a thing.
You only get what you bring, revealing the heart.
ev'ry heart deserves it'; you and me, we do.
Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad.
Sing the song that tell it, praise the man that sells it;
you're alive, you might as well be glad.
SWEET CAROLINE
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline 1969 Stonebridge Music (ASCAP)
TENNESSEE MOON
Hollywood don't do what it once could do.
I used to wake up and write me a song before noon.
So I packed my dusty bags one night, grabbed an old guitar,
and I caught a red-eye flight.
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.
Makes me wonder: is it the same moon Hank played under?
Began to think for the first time I might stay.
And when I heard that lonesome whistle moan,
knew I'd fin'lly found my way back home.
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.
And I wonder: is it the same moon Hank stood under
when he sang about jambalaya and bein' lonesome enough to cry?
And I can hear the echos in the sounds of his guitar.
And his words still paint a picture in my heart.
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.
I was in search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
yes, I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Dennis Morgan
THANK THE LORD FOR THE NIGHT TIME
Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't takin' me where I'm bound
When it's done, I run out to see my baby
We got groovin' when the sun goes down
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relexation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for you
Nothing ever seems to turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any
Seems like just one time I'm feeling good
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relexation
It's a time to groove
I thank the Lord for you 1967 Tallyrand Music, Inc. (ASCAP)
THE STORY OF MY LIFE
The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth
You found me waiting and made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be a man that you wanted of me
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you
It's the story of our times and never letting go
If I die today, I wannted yo to know
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
and when it began I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leaveWords and music by Neil Diamond
This Time
If there was time enough for me
To do it all again
I promise you that I would find
A way to make it right this time.
I never thought I could.
But now I know that I would find
A way to make it right this time.
I close my eyes and I keep reliving it
Over again.
It's over but then
I got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no.
And you'll be mine this time for sure.
Only got to show I care the way I do.
And I'd be there this time for you.
The things I feel inside
I promise you I'd find a way,
A way to make it right this time.
I close my eyes and I keep reliving it Over again.
It's over but then I got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no.
And I'll be there this time for sure
'Cause I'm not the same man that I was before,
And I'm nothing at all if I'm not yours.
I only got to show I care the way I do,
And I'll be there this time for you.
Yes, I'll be there this time for you.
Walk On Water
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Gives love and loves it,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Glory sight, got de dawnin',
Lordy, light the night away!
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away!
She leads the children,
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
YESTERDAY'S SONGS
Yesterday's songs
Don't stay around long
Not much anymore
Don't make themselves heard
Like they did before
May be yesterday's news
But the truth always stays the same
And the good things will never change
Like sayin' 'I love you'
Sayin' 'I love you'
Don't seem to belong
They're here and they're gone
Don't stay in the grooves
They keep moving on
Was for yesterday's time
And the future's not ours to see
But there's some things that always will be
Like sayin' 'I love you'
Sayin' 'I love you' 1981 Stongebridge Music (ASCAP)
