Neil Diamond Album

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

In search of a dream underneath
The Tennessee moon
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune
Makes me wonder,
Is it the same moon Hank played under?

Touched down
And she stole my heart right away
Began to think for the first time
I might stay
And when I heard
That lonesome whistle moan
Knew I'd fin'ly found my way back home

LyricsIn search of a dream underneath
The Tennessee moon
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 echoes
In the sounds of his guitar
And his words still paint
A picture in my heart

Yeah, in search of a dream underneath
The Tennessee moon
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

It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And ev'ry heart I've ever known
Just left me wanting more

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

I followed all life's pleasures
Wherever they would lead
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
LyricsOne good love can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love,
One good love

[Spoken:]
Check it out now.
I'm a little man, but you're my woman
And together we're strong.

The end of the road
Is lonesome and cold
Ain't no place for makin' a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands

Some people say
There just ain't no way
We can hold on
And see this thing through.
I don't care what they say
They never loved one like you

Shame
It comes in ev'ry size
Touches many lives
LyricsKnocks on many doors
Shame
I've seen it in your eyes.
They hurt you with their lies
But words don't count at all
'Cause I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you

I remember the day
That I drove you away
Lord,
That whistle gave a lonesome moan
That train that took you away
It's gonna bring you back home

And I'll be standing right there
In the cold morning air
When that train comes a rollin' in
Loraine, once you're back in my arms
You won't be leaving again

Shame
It comes in ev'ry size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame
I've seen it in your eyes
They hurt you with their lies
Their words don't count at all

And I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
No, I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
Me, I don't care what they say
There ain't no shame loving you

If you've been feelin' blue
Hey, it's been the same for me
Now I'm here with you
And you're exactly what I need
Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart was meant to be

And ev'ry thing about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to see
Was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
The connection between you and me,
Can't you see it's
A matter trust
Matter of us
Matter of love

LyricsWe got magic here
It's the power of love, I know
It's dancin' in the air
And I can feel the feelin' grow
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I won't ever let you go

And ev'ry thing about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to see
Was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night,
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
Nothin's ever gonna separate us
You and me
It's a matter of trust
Matter of us
Matter of love

Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I won't ever let you go

And ev'ry thing about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to see
Was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night,
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
The connection between you and me
Can't you see
It's a matter of trust
Matter of us
Matter of love
It's a matter of love
It's a matter of love

Say that you'll marry me
Sometimes carry me
And I will be there forever more
For you

And if you marry me
I will give every thing
And I will do anything That you need
Me to

You'll know by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart I'll be there
You'll know
'Cause you'll never be lonely
Again, anytime, anywhere
This I promise if you marry me

Promise you'll stay with me
We'll make some memories
And maybe a dream or two will come true
Who knows?
Lyrics
This I can say for sure
All that I have is yours
You'll never wonder where I stand
It shows

You'll know by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know
'Cause you'll never be lonely
Again, anytime, anywhere

All I promise you I will be
If you'll only say you'll marry me
I won't ever forget these words
And I'll love you for all I'm worth
If you say you will marry me
Won't you marry me?
Marry me

Good morning
I love you
Now that you're here where you belong
I want to be the man you need

Just tell me you love me
Because I need to hear it, too
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

I need you beside me
The road is so long
You run through my heart
Like the words of a bitter-sweet song

I'd travel the whole world
Across the earth, around the sun
If I could be the one
You carry deep inside of you

Without you beside me
The road is so long
You live in my heart
And it hurts when I think of you gone
I need you in my way.
I have no right to love so true
But let me be the one
The one who lives inside of you
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

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?
LyricsLove 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

Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies
And love would never leave me in the dark
No, love never breaks my heart
Like you do, like you do

Love doesn't have unapproachable walls
Or a heart that beckons
And then withdraws.
And love would never steal my dignity
Love has never made a fool of me
Like you do, like you do, like you do

Oh, and I have know times
When love seems unsure
But when love is unkind
It is not love anymore
Love never threatens or frightens me
It's not held together with apologies
Love never screams my name
No, and love never turns away
LyricsLike you do, like you do

And I have know times
When love seems unsure
But where love may be unkind
Love never turns away
Like you do,
Like you do,
Like you do,
Like you do

You got to take your time now,
If love is gonna take you by the hand
You need to take your time, though
'Cause love is not
A thing you can command
There's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know

And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?

I listen to the river
And hear the river callin' out her name
I'm tryin' to forgive her
But nothin's ever gonna be the same
LyricsThere's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know

And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?

There's got to be a reason
Got to be a closeness
It's got to have a feelin'
Only you can know

And when you find love, hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it through
In spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?

Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?

I never noticed when you changed your hair
Just another of those moments
I was only half there

When you wore that red dress
That was cut up to here
I never noticed
You were wearing a tear

I was always tryin' to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of?
One time too often
I didn't hold you enough

I was always tryin' to win the world
But somewhere I lost you
I never saw you
Only tryin' to win my love

It should have been me there
For all of those times
LyricsIt would have been me there
If I knew the signs
When you wore that red dress
How could I know then
You'd wear it for me once
And never wear it again?

I was always tryin' to win the world
What on earth was I thinking of?
One time too often
I didn't hold you enough

I was always tryin' to win the world
But somewhere I lost you
'Cause I never saw you
Only tryin' to win my love

Somewhere I lost you
'Cause I never saw you
Only tryin' to win my love

Some things got to be known
Some don't need to be said
Which way we gonna go?
Stayin' home is just making me mad

Me, I got to get out
Me, I got to feel right
Don't need to worry or doubt
'Cause I'm gonna be rockin' tonight

Get on board
Check it out, look around
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me, let it be, be just fine
No limit to it any time

Me, I'm telling you true
Say it right in a crowd
Any chance with you, hey
You know I'm gonna be 'round

LyricsGet on board
Check it out, look around
Ain't no limit to what love allows
If we don't make it,
We don't make it, and I won't cry
But I been thinkin'
And I know one thing
We're never gonna make it
If we don't try

Me, I'm feelin' it good
Ain't no foolin' around
I've been misunderstood,
But I know what I'm talkin' about.

Get on board
Check it out, look around
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me got to fly, set it free
No limit if you just know how
Ain't no limit to what love allows

Being here is being where I want to be
I don't suppose you'll ever know
How much you mean
And for all of the heartaches
We've been through
I know that I
Could not forget my time with you

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth,
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while

There was a time
I had the will to carry on,
But I let go
Even though you're what I want
"Could have beens"
To keep you warm when I was gone
LyricsI never knew
That near to you's where I belong

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth,
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while

I'd much rather stay
But I'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while
We'll just reminisce for a while

Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She'd look at you once
And a day that's all wrong looks all right
And I love her, God knows, I love her

Kentucky woman
If she get to know you,
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

Well, she ain't the kind makes heads turn
At the drop of her name
But something inside that she's got
Turns you on just the same
And she loves me,
God knows, she loves me

Kentucky woman
If she get to know you,
She goin' to own you
LyricsKentucky woman

I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl,
And life is sweet and good
Ain't no doubt, I'm talkin' about ....

Kentucky woman
If she get to know you,
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman

I don't want much
The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl,
And life is sweet and good
Ain't no doubt
I'm talkin' about Kentucky woman
If she get to know you,
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman

If I lost my way,
Would you stand with me,
Would you love me still
And care for what I need
If I lost my way?

If I lost my faith
To face up to the test,
Would I let you down?
Would you love me less
If I lost my way?

Tell me I'm afraid without good reason
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay?
If I lost my way
If I lost my way

If I lost my dreams,
Could I keep your trust?
LyricsPromise that our love
Would not turn to dust
If I lost my way

Tell me I'm afraid without good reason
Say that I'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay?

If I lost my way,
Would you stand with me
Would you love me still
And care for what I need
If I lost my way
If I lost my way
If I lost my way
If I lost my way

Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna believe in
Everybody's the same
Around the world

If you wanna find someone,
Then you only have to show it
Nothin's sadder than love
That's left unheard

Me, how I tried to deny
That it pointed to you
Too many roads
Up ahead lookin' shiny and new

Everybody needs someone
But it's gotta mean something
Giving up a piece of you's
The hardest part

If you wanna have someone
LyricsThen you really got to know it
Doesn't take very much
To break a heart

May I get lost in your eyes
For a lifetime or two?
Something about you and I
Leads me right to the truth

Some people always got something
They got left to say
Some need to keep it inside
They just wanna hide away

And I'm glad I have you there
'Cause I would've been nowhere
Bein' here all alone's a lonely sound
Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna believe in
Everybody's the same
Around the world

I got worries by the ton
Gettin' cancer's only one
Overtaxed and alimonied
Tired of eatin' fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young or growin' older
There's some brain cells I'm missin'
But despite it all, I'd like to say

I'm gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today

Bills and pills and former wives
Past mistakes and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Out of Prozac, hairline's gone
Hearing voices in my head
Say I should've stayed in bed
Dog just died, but what the heck
LyricsNothing worse can happen anyway

So,
I'm gonna have a good day today
Me,
I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today

Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my VCR
Letter came from Sixty Minutes
Say they wanna put me in it
Tell me my career just died
Years ago I might've cried
Now I'm just too old to do it
May be true, but screw it anyway

Me,
I'm gonna have a good day today
And
I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey,
I'm gonna have a good day today
Me,
I'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today

Tied by love to you
But I was tied too strong
Still, I'm afraid of knowin'
What leavin' means
I know I lived for you
In all I tried to do
You were the keeper of my dreams

Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains
From 'round my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
Pay no mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me,
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free

You were always caring
Always warm and kind
LyricsBut that was long ago
When love was blind
And I don't want to hurt you
The way that I've been hurt
But if I stay, I'll lose my mind

Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains
From 'round my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
Pay no mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me,
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free

Time is always moving
While we're here standing still
I'll love you even though I'm leaving
And maybe I always will

Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains
From 'round my heart
Make believe that I'm no more
Pay no mind when I depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me,
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free

If you really care for me,
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Set me free
Yeah
C'mon set me free
Set me free

So long, big city
It's time to say goodbye
I'm longing for those country roads
I need to see the sky
Think I'll take a swing down south,
Visit Tennessee
See if that girl Annie
Still remembers me

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound
I don't wanna take the interstate
It represents all the things I hate
I'm rollin' down that blue highway

So long, confusion
It's time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends
Ease on out of town
LyricsI made me some money here
But paid for ev'ry day
And ev'ry mile just makes me smile
'Cause I made my getaway

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
I've stayed too long
But now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound
I've had it up to here with worry
From now on
I'm in no hurry
Rollin' down that blue highway

I'll be ridin' that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
I've stayed too long
But now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound
I've had it up to here with worry
From now on
I'm in no hurry
Rollin' down that blue highway
I'll be rollin' down that blue highway
You can find me on that blue highway
