Neil Diamond Album

Hey, 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?

Wanna hear you say "Oh yeah"
I need to hear you say "Oh yeah"
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we are given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives

Oh yeah, hear the song of womankind
Carried 'til she ached
Now she's takin' her stand
Says she's got the right to be
LyricsRight beside and equal with ev'ry man

Wanna hear you say "Oh yeah"
Need to hear you say "Oh yeah"
It's time to stand up and be counted
These are the days of our beginnings
This ain't the time for the faint of heart
No don't wanna lose
The chance we're given
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives
Say "oh yeah"

Say it now, and just say it right
If you truly believe it,
You'll be saying it right.

So say "oh yeah"
Gotta say "oh yeah"
It's time to stand up and be counted
Better days are just beginning.
There ain't no place to run and hide to
Don't throw away
The chance we're given.
These are the best years of our lives
The very best years of our lives

Say "Oh yeah"
"Oh yeah"
Say "Oh yeah"
Say "Oh yeah"
These are the best years of our lives

It isn't easy when you're makin' the scene
You either fit right in or fall in between
These are hard times for lovers

The kind of magic that you want every night
Well that's the kind that always
Goes by the morning light
Hard times for lovers

I'm gonna climb on your roof,
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times, really hard times
For lovers

It's gettin' harder
And you know it's the truth
Confusion seems to be the popular view of it
Hard times for lovers

Some people see it almost played like a game
LyricsThe way it is today, it's kind of a shame
They're such hard times for lovers

I want to climb on your roof
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times
Really hard times for lovers

It isn't easy, no, I try to please you so
It isn't easy, you can take it from me
But maybe easy ain't the way
It's supposed to be
Hard times for lovers

I'm gonna climb on your roof
Beat on your door, act like a fool
Then I'll say it once more
These are hard times
I know that they are
Can carry that weight
But I don't know how far

These are hard times,
Truly hard times
God, they're hard times for lovers
Say No no no no no no no....
Say No no no no no no no....
Say No no no no no no no....
Say no, say no, say no
Say no, say no, say no......

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

This time I'd love you even more
I never thought, I could
But now I know, that I would find
A way to make it right
This time

Over again, I closed my eyes,
And I keep reliving it over again
It's over but then
I've got my dream
Don't no one dare tell me no

And you'd 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.
Lyrics
If there was time enough to say
The things I feel inside
I promise you, I'd find a way
A way to say them right
This time

Over again, I closed my eyes
And I keep reliving it
Over again
It's over but then
I've 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

Ooh, 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

Ooh, baby, I'm feelin' your heat
Hot as the Fourth of July
Me, I know that your kisses are sweet
And there's something between you and I

And oh, babe, I may look like I'm okay
I'm going out of my mind
'Cause I wanna love you
And if I can love you
And everything's gonna be fine

LyricsOoh, you got to know it
Need a little romance now
And I got to show it
Won't you give me the chance now
Oh yeah, oh yeah.....

Ooh, babe, you're a sign on the freeway
Beggin' me please to slow down
But watch out babe,
I'm inclined to believe there's no way
To turn it around.

For us babe, it's a matter decided
Already made up my mind
I'm gonna love you,
And you're gonna love me
And everything's gonna be fine

You got to know it
You need a little romance, too
And I got to show it
If you give me the chance to
Oh yeah.......

I want you, I need you
There's not much more to say
I want you to need me
You want to make me wait for you,
Babe, you're a sign on the freeway
Beggin' me please, take my time
Ain't gonna hurry, don't gotta worry
Everything's gonna be fine
Oh yeah....
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna work out just fine....

stay with me, here with me,
I want you near with me,

I'm a man,
that's hooked on the memory
of you and i, who knows why?
I only know that i'm sure i am
hooked on the memory of you

time, time standing still
i know it's you,
I always will , need you to,
lay with me, lie with me
spend your desire with me,
if you can

I'm hooked on the memory, of
you and I, who knows why?

I guess i wanted for you to be
hooked on the memory of me.

and time, time standing still,
i know its you, i always will

want you to be, here, with me
i want you to stay right, here, with, me

I need you to love with me, laugh with me
forgive the past with me.. i know you can

I'm hooked on the memory of
you and i , who knows why?
guess i just wanted for you to be,
hooked on the memory of me

well you know that it's true!
not a thing i can do.
I'm hooked on the memory of you.

The first time
Caught you stayin' out late
With some bad boys
The first time
And you got mad
When I asked you to explain it.

Say it isn't so,
I need you to say it isn't so
And I'll believe it
Say it isn't so
Just say it isn't so
And that I'm dreamin'

You said "Take care of me"
You begged me now
"Take care of me"
And I believed it
"Take care of me"
It's me or nothin' girl
"Take care of me"
Lyrics
The next time,
I was out by myself at the movie
That was the last time
Found you there
With some fast talkin' smoothie

Say it isn't so
I need you to say
That I don't see what I'm seein'
Say it isn't so
Just say it isn't true,
That you would cheat me

You said "Take care of me"
You kept on beggin' me
"Take care of me"
And I believed it, yeah
"Take care of me"
Now it's your turn to take care of me

Don't beg me one more time
"Take care of me"
You said it now
"Take care of me"
That you needed me
"Take care of me"
And I believed your lies
"Take care of me"

You know that now you've got to....
"Take care of me"
You gonna miss me honey
You gonna know it too
Forget the high times

You said "Take care of me"
Take care of me
Take care of me
Take care of me
You did me dirty
You treated me bad
Look what I am today, baby....

Sorry, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like sorry
Like sorry

Forgive me, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like forgive me
Forgive me

But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words,
At the right time, you'd be mine

I love you, is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily, like I love you
I love you

But you can say, baby
LyricsBaby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
At the right time, you'd be mine
Yeah you'd be mine babe
You'd be mine

But you can say, baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Baby, if I told you the right words
Yeah, at the right time, you'd be mine
You'd be mine
Yeah, you'd be mine

Quizas algun dia
La encuentre otra vez alli
En una frontera
Me robo el corazon
Yo sabia que a ella la perdia
Vi todoun mundo en
Camelita's eyes

She took me somewhere,
Somewhere that's far beyond
Was going no where
And I couldn't go for long

The waitin' and prayin'
Was makin' me tell myself lies
And all I could see was my
Carmelita's eyes
Vi todoun mundo en
Carmelita's eyes

How did I live it before?
LyricsI just don't understand
Afraid that she'd read me and
Finally deceive me
I closed my eyes and I ran
But I want to be
Carmelita's man
Hey, hey

Yes I lost her 'cross the border
It was higher than I realize
And I left my whole world in
Carmelita's eyes
Vi todoun mundo en
Carmelita's eyes
I saw the whole world in
Carmelita's eyes
Vi todoun mundo en
Carmelita's eyes
I saw the whole world in
Carmelita's eyes

You walk by me
And my heart goes faster
Those eyes that smile, I know all the while
I'm courtin' disaster

You call my tune, I just obey it
Was long ago you loved me, I know
I once heard you say it

So I keep going on without ever knowing
All that I need to do
And I know some how,
It's the same way now for you.
And you're courtin' disaster too

I'm not an innocent man
Then you happened my way
Two paths that chanced to cross
One night on some secret highway

Still hear your words
LyricsAnd I believe you meant it
Your voice, that sound, the heat
What's worse, I still can remember

Can I keep going on without ever knowing
All that I need to do
And to know some how
It's the same way now for you

And we're courtin' disaster
Yeah, we're courtin' disaster

I could try to run away
But the feeling just won't set me free
If you need to find me,
You can find me here waiting
That's where I'll be

So walk on by
Temptation's growin'
Sometimes you court disaster
Just cause it keeps you going.
There's times you court disaster too
Without ever knowing

If I couldn't see you again
Life would make no sense at all to me
I could be a rich man, but why?
It wouldn't mean much, if I
Could never see you again

If I couldn't look in your eyes
How'm I gonna see tomorrow?
How'm I gonna know where to go?
I need to be at your side
Say what you want, babe
But I, I need to see you again

Things are gonna get serious
What a waste of a chance
For the two of us
What can I do?
Is it so mysterious?
I would be much less than I am
If I couldn't have you

LyricsAnd if there wasn't you in my life
All my life would be so empty
And if I couldn't see you again,
Be losing more than a friend
Don't even want to pretend
I need to see you again

Things are gonna get serious
What a waste of a chance
For the two of us
What can I do?
Is it so mysterious?
I would be much less than I am
If I couldn't have you
Know that it's true

How'm I gonna make you believe
What have I got left to give to you?
Maybe just a piece of my life
It wouldn't mean much, if I
Could never see you again
I need to see you again

I wake every morning to find you there
My lover still
I am deep in amazement
That you still care, you always will
My life depends on you
To always be there, always be mine
Know you can make that long hard climb.

How many others have come and gone
Along the way?
Count them,
All of them seem to be movin' on
But me, I've stayed the same
And I still want you.
I give you my heart, give you my soul
I give it all because, I know
It's a long hard climb

It's a long hard climb, and I know it
And I hope that it's not too late
And I know that
LyricsI'm lost if I should hesitate
Yes, I do believe in forever
It's a place that lover's find
And I know that we're both gonna make
That long hard climb

Late in the evening, there's the two of us
Alone and still
Dreamers caring to strongly to give it up
We never will,
'Cause our life depends on two
You give me your heart,
I give you my soul
We'll give it all because we know it's
A long hard climb

And I wanted to say that I love you.
And I hope that it's not too late
But I know that we're lost
If we should hesitate
And I do believe in forever
It's a place that lover's find
And I know that we're both gonna make
That long hard climb

Yes I know that we can make it
'Cause there's no way that you could fake it
Yes together we're both gonna make
That long hard climb
