Neil Diamond Album

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you,"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So I told the friendly star,
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I'm so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger for your touch
Alone
Lonely time
Time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea
To the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling
I hunger for your touch
Alone
Lonely time
Time goes by, so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far

Can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
LyricsThat the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
Can you feel the love tonight?

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Oh lovely never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

I could fall in love with the proper stranger
If I heard the bells and the banjos ring
If two certain eyes with the look of danger
Smiled a welcome warm as spring

If the beating in my heart
Sounded out a warning
"Don't let her,"
"Don't let her walk through the door"
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
Oh, yes, I'd know
However wild it seems,
You know I'd know

And I'd whisper
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

"Don't let her,"
"Don't let her walk through the door"
"This is the one you've been waiting for"
Oh, yes, I'd know
However wild it seems,
You know I'd know

And I'd whisper
"Come take my hand, proper stranger"
"Don't go through life as a stranger"
"For I'm a poor proper stranger, too"

If you're blue
And you don't know
Where to go to
Why don't you go
Where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Different types
Who wear a day-coat
Pants with stripes
And cutaway coats
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz

Strolling up the avenue so happy
All dressed up
Just like an English chappie
Very snappy
Come, let's mix
Where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks
LyricsOr "umbrellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
Come, let's mix
Where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks
Or "umbrellas"
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on
Puttin' on
Puttin' on
Puttin' on the Ritz

When a star is born
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power
To make a wish come true

When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream,
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment
Of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you thru
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true

Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending on beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
LyricsOr the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell,
I can feel
You are love
You are really mine

In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms

Sun tanned, wind blown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling, far above far
Oh how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true

Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time to hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
LyricsI believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

You're here
There's nothing I fear
Cause I know that my heart
Will go on and on
And on and on and on
My heart will go on and on

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than words can ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't go away
Don't go away

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time had erased
Be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
LyricsLet's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go

Don't ever go
I love you so

In the still of the night
As I gaze from of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh the times without number
Darling when I say to you

Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night

Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
My dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like that moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, still of the night

Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style some day
Old dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

They say,
Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart
May break when I awake
Let it be so, I only know
Ruby, it's you

They say,
Ruby you're like a song
You don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes
I see heartaches for me
But from the start,
Who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you

I hear your voice
And I must come to you
I have no choice
So what else can I do?

They say,
Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware
Still I don't care
You thrill me so
I only know
Ruby, it's you

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
You're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself
This affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist
When darling I know so well
I've got you under my skin

So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story
You outta know
I got the routine
So drop another nickel
In the machine

'Cause I've got her under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you little fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time I do,
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

So set 'em up Joe,
I got a little story
That you outta know

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
And I love her

She gave my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright is the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
I love her
I love her

And I love her

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand,
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
No, I can't help
Falling in love with you

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
