A Million Miles AwayEvery time that we're together,
I'm alone
When you're by my side,
You're far away
And you treat me like
Someone that you've never known
You seem to be a million miles away
Our love's become a one way episode
Act Like a ManSongmaker
You heartbreaker
You figure
Better stop it while you can
You know you're just
A worthless daydreamer
But hey dreamer
AmericaFar
We've been travelling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
And The Singer Sings His SongYoung it was
True it was
Days without wond'ring
Fall with a special thing
Laugh, I could laugh
And I did
And the singer sings his song
And the children dance along
Away In A MangerAway in a manger,
no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus,
asleep on the hay.
BeLost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him
There
Beautiful NoiseWhat a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat
It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
Blue DestinyHow can I love
If my love doesn't love only me?
What have I done
To deserve love that never can be?
Once she was just mine alone,
Now she's just someone I've known
What can I do
To change my blue destiny?
Brooklyn RoadsIf I close
my eyes
I can almost hear my
mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your
brother
Daddy's home, and it's time for
supper
Chelsea MorningWoke up, it was a Chelsea mornin'
And the first thing that I heard
Was the song outside my window
And the traffic wrote the words
It came ringin' up like Christmas bells
And rappin' up like pipes... and drums...
Won't you stay
Cherry Cherry ChristmasWish you a very merry, cherry cherry Christmas
And a holly holy holiday, too.
Underneath your tree may there always be
Sounds of harmony, not a song sung blue.
Just a very merry, cherry cherry Christmas.
And if all of those who love you gather near,
You'll have a very merry, cherry cherry, holly holy,
Cherry, CherryBaby loves me yes, yes she does
Oh, the girl's outta sight, yeah
Says she loves me yes, yes she does
Mmh, gonna show me tonight, yeah, hey
She got the way to move me, Cherry
She got the way to groove me
She got the way to move me (yeah, Cherry, baby)
She got the way to groove me (alright)
Coldwater MorningOne, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
And like a child believing dreams
Always a dream to take you home
Day, after the day, there comes the night
There comes the knowing when you laugh
If you should laugh,
The night alone will hear
Cracklin' RosieAh, Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
And Lord, don't you know
I'll have me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
Create MeDays break, nights fall
And I wait alone
I sleep behind a wall
My silent call unknown
Create me
Create me
Deep In The MorningHey, deep in the morning
I wake up, knowin' she gonna love me
She gonna love me
Kisses are warmin'
Never want showin' she gonna want me
She gonna want me
And I say Na na na.na na na na na na
Delirious LovePretty soon we were takin' it serious
Me and you underneath a mysterious spell
Nothin' I could do and it suddenly felt like a bolt out of hell
I'm tellin' you
To the sound of the beat I was hanging on
Like a powerful truth, it was banging on me
Wouldn't let me go
Like a shot in the dark she was hot like a spark
Dig InDig in, Papa's coming home
Dig in girl, Papa's coming home
You know that soon, girl
We'll be making up for time
I've been gone
Hang loose,
Papa's on his way
Done Too SoonJesus Christ, Fanny Brice,
Wolfie Mozart and Humphrey Bogart and
Genghis Khan and
On to H. G. Wells.
Ho Chi Minh, Gunga Din
Henry Luce and John Wilkes Booth
And Alexander's
Everything's Gonna Be FineOoh, babe, you're a hot little number
Waitin' out there on the line
For you, babe, it's a matter of love
And me, it's a matter of time
For us babe, it's a matter decided
Know that I made up my mind
I'm gonna love you, you're gonna love me
And everything's gonna be fine
Face MeWhen you look away from me
I feel the anger go straight to my head
Cause I'm feeling deceived
And it's not what you say
But the way that you say it
I worry inside
Do you lie to me, lie to me?
What do you hide from me?
Forever In Blue JeansMoney talks
But it don't sing and dance and it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be forever in blue jeans
Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you'd pardon me, I'd like to say
We'd do okay forever in blue jeans
Forever In Blue Jeans, 1978Money talks
but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk.
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
forever in blue jeans.

And ain't it a nice place to be?
Goggin noggin, papa's rockin' like a mockin' bird in a windy tree,
and that ain't no place for me.
Been there one time, been there two times,
been there three times more than I care to be,
But we're gonna make it through, Gitchy Goomy.
Glory RoadWearin' my high boots,
Got all my worldlies here in a sack

Knowing that it ain't here where I'm at
Ain't looking back

Hear them bells from up above
My darling, I need you, more each day
I'd be contented dear
If only you would say
I'll be yours forever, sweetheart
Our love is real, we'll never ever part
To be with you, love is my one desire
Hello AgainHello again, hello
Just called to say 'hello'
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
Holiday Inn BluesHalf a day from nowhere
Hurrying to get there
Ninety miles an hour
In two Plymouth wagons
The Avis lady gave us a smile
Tom's getting uptight
Max'll will make it all right
Ken's asleep in back
Holy HolyHolly holy eyes
Dream of only me
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
I Am I SaidL.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays
I Am...I SaidLA's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know I keep thinking about
Making my way back
Well, I'm New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
I Believe In Happy EndingsI believe in happy endings
Starry skies and dreams come true
I've believed it since I first met you
I believe in new beginnings
Extra innings, brand new starts
Loving hearts that care the way I do
All these things and happy endings too
Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
I'll Come RunningMatter of fact, you're on the right track
My future looks bright and blue.....
Didn't take long to see I was wrong
That I still got it strong for you
I'll come running, yeah
If you want me to
I'll come running, yeah
'Cause I'm done in, yeah, without you
I'm On To YouLie no more, I'm on to you
Know the score and I'm on to you
Take anything you want
Baby, I'm movin' on
You can complain, rant and cry
Can't deny
Baby, I'm on to you
I've Been This Way BeforeI've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
If I Don't See You AgainIf I don’t see you again
It was a hell of a ride
Don’t need to say lets be friends
Don’t need to promise you’ll write
We rode that train through the night
And never cared where it went
If I don’t see you again
If You Go AwayNEIL DIAMOND
"If You Go Away"
If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
If You Know What I MeanWhen the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet house that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
And feel it one more time
JulietJuliet I've been waitin'
For so long for you to come back
How I, I've been needin' you, Juliet
Wrapped up all in day dreams
But daydreams won't fill the night time
And I'm so glad I found Juliet
Nananananana...
Just Need To Love You MoreThink a little 'bout what you're sayin'
What's another day more or less
Gonna be a waitin' game
And I got the time if you get the message
What you gonna do about it
Got to hear the "go or stay"
Even if you go without me
You could never make me go away
Kentucky WomanKentucky 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
KnackelflergKnackelflerg, that little word
It says what you meant to me
You've been awfully fine
Knackelflerg, I've never heard
A word that says more, for sure
And you're only mine
Lady OhLady-oh, Lady-oh
I walked the streets again last night
I saw you in the city light
Like a vision, Lady-oh
Lady I, Lady I
I've been waitin' around
Such a long, long time
Long GoneSay lady
Oh, you got to tell me
What it was came over you
You ain't the devil,
But you might as well be
For all the changes
That you put me through
Love BurnsSee what you do
You make me act so crazy
I'm overcome, I know
Stealin' my own show
For your love
And who am I now, Clown or Casanova
I'm never sure with you
Love Doesn't Live Here AnymoreHow can I stay in this place
All that I see is her face
And every room just seems to haunt me
Why would she throw love away
Guess there's no reason to stay
Maybe it's time to close the door
Love on the RocksLove on the rocks, ain't no surprise,
Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies.
I got nothing to lose
So you just sing the blues for a while.
I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul,
You left me alone here with nothing to hold.
Yesterday's gone
Marry Me NowWe don't believe in breaking up
We do believe in making up
That's all we really have to know
To make it so, it's official
Yesterday is here and gone
Tomorrow's where we both belong
Today's the day to make that change
And rearrange your initials
Melody RoadMelody road I'm on with you
All the way to the end
I know every song you lead me to
Is gonna be my friend
Melody road I play all night
Take my guitar and strum
Find me some words that feel just right
The music's gonna come from Melody Road
Memphis StreetsI'm headed for Memphis, ridin' a '59 Ford
Good paying job, girl
Bein' alone makes it hard
Find myself taking rides
Through the Memphis streets
Look out and watch the view
Girl, you know I don't see a thing
Merry-Go-RoundThe rich and the poor
The rich got a maid
And she takes all the kids to the zoo
It's true
The poor got no maid
So they pack up their kids and go, too
And I ask myself
What it's all about
Mr BojanglesI knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for you
In worn out shoes —
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants —
“The old soft shoe”.
He jumped so high, jumped so high,
Then he`d lightly touch down.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, he was
New OrleansI said, hey hey hey, hey ya
I said, hey, hey ya ya
Well come on everybody
Make a trip with me
Down from Mississippi
Down to New Orleans
They got the honeysuckle
New York BoyNew York City, look at me now
Being stared at from behind the plow
Mississippi, don't get annoyed
I ain't no hippie, just a New York boy
Didn't want the mayor to come
Or a big brass band to greet me
But then the reception I got
Well it wasn't what I had in mind
No LimitSomething's gotta be known
Some don't need to be said
Which way we're gonna go
Staying home's just making me mad
Me, I gotta get out
Me, I got a few rights
Don't need to worry or doubt
'Cause I'm gonna be rocking tonight
Porcupine PiePorcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Vanilla soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I won't, maybe I won't, maybe I will
The tutti fruit with fruity blue cheese
Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
Pretty Amazing GracePretty amazing grace is what You showed me
pretty amazing grace is who You are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
and with amazing grace restored my pride
Pretty amazing grace is how You saved me
and with amazing grace reclaimed my heart
Rainy Day SongCan you hear my rainy day song
Calling from the street below
Baby, since I've been without you
Well, it's the only song I know
And I keep hearing rainy day songs
Tapping on my window sill
Some that soon won't be forgotten
Remember MeMaybe tonight, just for this moment
We'll feel the same things, we did before
Just close your eyes, and let me show you
You'll be my reason, and I'll be yours
Remember me
Well, I'm the boy they stood in line for
Have you got just a little time for me tonight
Right By YouRight by you, right by you
Want to do right by you
All night long
Right by you, right by you
Want to be right by you
All night long
Save Me A Saturday NightHow did I ever find you?
I've been waitin so long
But now your trouble's behind you
Time is hurrying on and all that I want
Is save me a Saturday night
Leave me some room at your table
Slip into your heart if I might
And stay just as long as I'm able
Seongah And JimmySeongah and Jimmy,
Seongah and Jimmy
They found each other
Downtown in Brooklyn
She's from Korea, he's from Long Island
They found each other,
And they discovered love
Seongah and Jimmy,
September MornStay for just a while
Stay and let me look at you
It's been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only wanna talk to you
We've traveled halfway 'round the world
ShiloYoung child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind
SkybirdSkybird
Make your soul
And every heart will know
Of the tale
Skybird
Make your tune
For none may sing it
Sleigh RideOhhh just hear those sleigh bells jinglin'
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo hoo."
Come on it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up let's go
Slow It DownPick it up
Hurry up son
We gotta run if you wanna get down
Clean speed

If you wanna succeed
I'm thinking you need to
But are y really sure
Smokey LadySmokey Lady
Spend your time
Makin' full grown men a full grown baby
Move on, move on,
Move on, move on, move on
But I'm just settlin'
'Cause I've been gettin' what I ain't had lately
Solitary ManMelinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
Loving Him
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Someday BabySomeday, baby
It's gonna be alright
Someday, maybe, but baby, not tonight
There's a gleam in your eyes
That's for some other guy not for me now
He'll be kissing the lips
That I just get to kiss in my dreams now
Song Sung BlueSong sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
SoolaimonCome she come say
Ride on the night
Sun becomes day
Day shall provide
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Stand Up For LoveI know this time what I'm feeling
Real love I believe in
Every night I see it in your eyes
They might say we won't make it
The road's too long
We can't take it
What we have
StargazerStargazer, 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.
Stargazer, probably think I'm crazy,
Straw In The WindBabe, I feel like a straw in the wind
Don't know where I stand
Can't say where I'm goin'
Or where I've been,
Or even if I'm your man
Ah, girl, I never know
Whether I'm out or in
Oh, oh, I'm cold
Sunday SunHey, Sunday sun
Let's go walkin'
And we'll talk about some things
Kick my shoes off
And we'll dream about some dreams
Got to get away when the world
Gets on me
Kids in the park
Sweet CarolineWhere it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
The Best Years Of Our LivesHey, listen to the working man
And can you hear the dream
That resides in his soul?
And when you hear that poor man singin'
Can you hear a story
That cries to be told?
Want to hear you say "Oh yeah"
The Story of My LifeThe 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
I was alone.
Walk On WaterWalk on water, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
And ain't it wond'rous, the way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right!
Light de light, we got mornin', mornin' makes another day
What's It Gonna BeFirst you're runnin' one way
Then you run another
Thinkin' you'd discover
What you really need
Runnin' in circles
Gonna get you nowhere
Why you want to go there?
Yes I WillYes I will, 'deed I will.
If I may, if I might, if I can.
Once upon a passing night dream
He beheld a mystic image bathed in blue reflection.
Then he stood and made his song,
Closed his eyes to feel the thunder
Echo like a wave around him;
You Are The Best Part Of MeMy baby's Crying on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothings ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's not way that
I'm leaving the best part of me
There was a time I wanted out on my own
You Don't Bring Me FlowersYou don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day
I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
You Got To MeMama told me that some day it would happen
But she never said that it would happen like this
Papa said, "Look out, some girl'll catch you nappin'
Some little girl will get to you with her kiss"
You got to me
You brought me to may knees
Never thought I'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You'll ForgetLoved her so
Then one day
She said she loved someone else instead
I'm goin' out of my head
'Cause over and over
I just hear the last words she said:
You'll forget
