Neil Diamond Album

Just beyond my windowpane, I saw you
Walking in the rain away from me
Visions of your future lay before you
You are free

I saw you in the company of strangers
Laughing just a little bit too loud
Looking at reflections in a mirror
I can see the smiling faces
But not me among the crowd
Wondering how

I wish that I could play this like a love song
So I could shape it like I wanted to
I'd make it purely from the heart
I know that surely from the heart
There only comes the gentlest of tunes
But where are you?

We tried to set the world on fire
And almost did with our desire
LyricsTwo of us and maybe more
Kids inside a candy store
Sparks of joy and celebration
Suddenly we're drowned beneath the tears
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
Yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years

Some believe in magic potions
Heads all full of crazy notions
Castles built upon a sandy shore
Only magic I believe in
Is the magic I receive from
Loving you and needing nothing more
Nothing more

We never heard each other's cries
That's how lovers turn to lies
When I gave, you wanted more
Then suddenly we're keeping score
I forgave your small deceptions
Till I couldn't hide my deepest fears
And baby, you're the reason that
I haven't played this song in years
yes baby, you're the reason that
I haven' t played this song in years

Don't look down
Or you're gonna fall
Things are gonna get easier
Much too serious, lighten up
This climb ain't made to be pleasing you
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down, just don't look down

Don't look down
Give a little more
Just forget how high you been
Every step becomes a floor
Every floor is a little thin
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down, don't look down

Don't look down
You're getting there
Straight ahead to the very top
Sunny skies and open air
Ain't no glory if you stop
Don't look down or contemplate
You're doin' fine, you're makin' it
Fix both your eyes and concentrate
Step at a time you're takin' it

Don't look down,
I'm sayin' don't look down
(instrumental)

Don't look down
I'm beggin' now
Don't let your sense be leavin' you
Keep your mind on the straight ahead
Some other time you'll enjoy the view
Don't look down, don't look down

Don't look down, don't look, don't look
Don't look down

No, don't look down

I 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
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare why

I believe in happy endings
You're the reason, love's the way
And I'll believe it till my dying day

I know the cost of tears and trouble
Some get lost, some make it through
LyricsMe, I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too

[Instrumental]

Sad songs bring me right down with the blues
Glad songs take me wherever I choose
And I choose to be there
So that I
Can declare

I know the cost of tears and trouble
I got lost, but I got through
And I made it, 'cause I always knew
That you believed in happy endings too
You and me and happy endings too

Movie show,
Where almost anything can happen
Movie time,
Anything you can imagine
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon let's go
You got to see it to believe it
I hear that Hollywood's a very tough scene
Where else does someone eat their
Co-star on screen

Hey if you ever want to get away quick
There's nothing quicker then the movies
The guilty pleasure of a shoot-em-up flick
Enjoyed at leisure at the movie show

Bring along a new girl
Movie time,
And maybe sit a little closer
Look out, look out, look out, look out
Oh no I hear an alien comin'
And when she sees it
LyricsShe'll be right in your seat
Is there a better way for people to meet

You want adventure
They discovered the stuff
Don't need to venture past the movies
You need romance,
They give you more than enough
They'll song and dance you
At the movie show

Movie show, hey the earth is in danger
Movie time and only one man can save us
C'mon, C'mon, C'mon, C'mon let's go
You know the odds are outrageous
And by the time he finally wins the fight
We're eating popcorn at the speed of light

You want to put yourself
Right into the scene
Well you can do it at the movies
Or maybe somethin'
That'll just make you scream
Why not go through it at the movies
You crave a mystery that boggles the mind
Well you can find it at the movies
A happy ending
That puts chills up your spine
There's one unwinding at the movie show,
Yeah
Love's made for finding at the movie show

I'm sittin' on a mountain
Searchin' for an answer
Hopin' there's a chance
That she'll be comin' back to me
Midnight dream

I'm waitin' on the mountain
Thinkin' I can find her
Maybe if I find her,
Here is where she'll want to be
Midnight dream

I made my way down to Mexico
I spend a year travelin' 'cross the ocean
Without goin' anywhere
A hundred miles to the nearest phone
A thousand miles from a place called home
And all alone in my despair
I'd call you there
My midnight dream

LyricsSo I'm sittin' on a mountain
Lookin' 'cross a river
Needin' to be with her
More than I believed I'd be
Midnight dream

I'm sittin' all alone now
Knowin' what I know now
Thought I'd be a teacher
But she would end up teachin' me
Midnight dream

I know that I lost my way one night
But if you ask me
It don't seem right
To spend my life without you there
And so I climbed to the highest peak
Just hopin' somehow that I what I seek
Will somehow speak and you'll appear
My midnight dream

Where are you, don't let go

So I'm sittin' on a mountain
How can I explain it
I'm livin' with the pain of thinkin' how it
Still could be
Midnight dream

Love is what I'm thinkin'
No two ways about it
Go too long without it,
Nothing really means a thing
Midnight dream

But if you haven't decided yet
Might be the only chance we get
Let's don't forget 'bout you and me
I finally ended where I began
You see before you
The sorry soul, the lonely man
I've come to be
Please come to me
My midnight dream
Oh come to me
My midnight dream

My baby's Cryin' on a Saturday night
She thinks that nothin's ever gonna go right
But she'll make it
And we'll make it
There's not way that
I'm leavin' the best part of me

There was a time I wanted out on my own
I even thought that I'd be ok alone
But oh, baby
I know, baby
That I'd be walkin'
Away from the best part of me

Chorus:
You are the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, your the part
That allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always
known
You are the best
Part of me

Love isn't easy and
It's not always kind
Sometimes you only
Have to make
Up your mind
That you can make it
and you can make it
I know I made it
By keeping the best part of me

My baby's cryin' 'cause she cant run away
And if she could it wouldn't last for a day
And she knows it
And I know it
It just shows that
She is the best part of me

It's true baby, your the best part of me
The best that I am
Or ever will be
You baby, you're the part that allows me
To open my heart
And let love inside
I want you to know
What I've always known
You're the best part of me
Yes, you are the best part of me

Hey, if you ever want to get away a while
I got something you want to know
Sometime when your world is on fire
You got to pack your bags and then go
Hey, don't you know you don't belong here
Why don't you come along with me
I'm gonna take you right out of the picture
Put you right into a brand new scene

Open road ahead is all we need
Something says to go and we just leave
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive

Hey, yeah
LyricsSo if you really want to get away quick
You need to get with a brand new beat
People around you just a little to slick
I got room here in my front seat
Hey, little girl just sittin' on a high fence
Ain't there a place you'd much rather be
Waitin' around here ain't makin' no sense
I got a way of gettin' us free

Open road ahead is all we want
Somethin' says to go and then we're gone
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
Baby, let's drive, c'mon now

So if you really want to chase the moon
I got a way to makin' it real
Turn up the sound on a get away tune
Can't wait to get behind the wheel
Yeah, if you really want to get out baby
Take you to where you want to be
Seem just a little bit lost, so baby
Why don't you come along and see

Open road is all we'll ever need
Never know where open roads can lead
And it feels right

Drive, baby, let's drive
We're gonna drive to the edge of the night
Two of us gone
Leavin' the world and the worry behind
Makin' up time
We gonna drive
Come on and drive
Everybody, let's drive
Start up and get free
Drive, c'mon and drive
Yeah, baby, let's drive

You are my special someone
All I will ever need
I know I'd be lost without you
I hope you'd be lost without me

I've searched alone
But your the only one
You're what I want
When things are said and done
I guess I only needed
Someone who was just like you
Someone who'd be
My special someone too

I stumbled down love's main highway
But not without takin' some falls
I've seen my illusions fly away
Until I had none left at all

And then you rescued
What was left of me
LyricsWhat maybe some would call a fantasy
But me, I'd have to say it only proves
How strange love moves
I need to be your special someone too

'Cause what I needed most
Is what she gave to me
And where she lays her head
Is where I want to be
There's something wrong with losing
What we finally found
Now when I've lost my way
I've got my special someone round

And when she needed love
She found it here with me
Now where I lay my head
Is where she wants to be
I've got a secret but it's one
That's hard to keep
I want to tell the world
That special someone is my girl
That special someone is my girl
She wants to be my special someone too

We've got to help a friend in need
And nothing is gonna stop us now
Though all the words in the world
Won't get him the girl
If fate don't allow

Good love's a hard thing to lose
It don't come everyday
We've got to find us a way
To save this friend of ours
It's time to begin our mission of love

Come on now
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh
Give me an 'L'
N do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah oh yeah
Sing me an 'O' do do,
Dah do do, dah do do

Lyrics'V-E' do n, dan do n,
Dah do n dah dah
L-O-V-E: love

We're on a mission of love
And nothing gets in our way
We've got to save us a friend
From a furious fate
Before the end of the day

This is a moment of truth
And truth is what we're about
We got a friend in a hole
We got to help get him out
This is a glorious day
Out on a mission of love, oh yeah

Everybody wants someone to need
Includin' you and me
Anytime you deny it
You're only denyin' what's real

Everybody wants someone that cares
Someone to be theirs
And if you get hurt
Sometimes if never can heal
So just count me in
This mission of love

Oh yeah,
Dah n do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah uh huh
Give me an 'L'
N do, dah n do,
Dah n do, dah oh yeah
Sing me an 'O' do do,

Got a rock and roll ditty
From the heart of the city
To a country lane far away
Drums are beatin'
And the bass repeatin'
And it rocks you to sleep just the same

Sleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't take long
We'll be singin' Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Ya' got a rock and roll daddy
And you make him so glad
He's got a smile
A mile across his face
Movie star mom
Gonna keep you safe from harm
And she'll do it with style and grace

LyricsSleep, safe and warm
Dream cares be gone
You know that it won't be long
We'll be singing Elijah's song
Singin' Elijah's song

Little bitty child when you laugh
I smile
It's a feelin' I won't ever forget
Far from now
When you're wanderin' 'round
There's a song that I left in your head

Dream, that's what you do
Dream, 'cause dreams come true
Someday when you're big and strong
You'll remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song
Remember Elijah's song

Leave a little room for God
As you're goin' through the day
Leave a little room for God
You know he won't get in your way

Save a little place inside
Somewhere you can call your own
Then leave a little room for God
And you won't ever be alone

Every day is so mysterious
You wonder how things came to be
And when you start to get real curious
Well, He's the man you'll want to see

So leave a little room for God
Just in case you need a friend
Everyone's got rainy days
It isn't so much if, but when

Life if like a gift we're given
LyricsEvery single day is new
We're thankful for the time we're livin'
But thankful exactly to who

C'mon now,
Put your money in the bank
And drive around in a big old car
Just leave a little room for God
Or it won't take you very far

Yeah, leave a little room for God
As you're goin' down the road
He'll not only point the way
He's gonna help you with the load

Yeah, leave a little room for God
And thank your lucky stars above
That He'll be leaving room for you
He's always got some room for love
Leave a little room for God, my friend
And He'll have room for you
Just need to leave a little room for him too

I've been up, I've been down
I've been so turned around
That I've seen my fate
In the eyes of others

I've been high, I've been low
But there's one thing I know
There's a lot to give
When we give to each other

So I bring you my song
Hoping you'll sing along

Turn down the lights
Turn up the music
Let's just be together tonight
And turn down the lights

First we're here, then we're gone
But the music plays on
From the heart of one
LyricsTo the heart of another

It's goodnight, not goodbye
We're just done for awhile
We'll be back again
With some new things discovered
And we'll bring you our song
Hoping you'll sing along

Turn down the lights
Turn up the music
Let's just be together tonight
Come turn down the lights

So I bring you my song
Hoping you'll sing along

Turn down the lights
Turn up the music
Let's just be together tonight

Turn up the love
Bring out the memories
You and I could share them all night
So turn down the lights
Turn down the lights
Turn down the lights
Turn down the lights
