Neil Diamond Album

It's a popular song
An American popular song
And there's something about it
Can't live without it

It's the tune of the day
Somehow it takes you away
And it grabs you
And it holds you
Feel it control you

Makes you want to clap your hands
Makes you want to stomp your feet
Makes you want to sing along
It means business
The American Popular Song
Goes on and on
The American Popular Song
Goes on and on
And on

LyricsIt's a popular song
An American popular song
A simple story
Wrapped up in glory

Once you hear it you know
You got to hear it some more
And that's power, try it
You can't deny it

Makes you want to clap your hands
Makes you want to stomp your feet
Makes you want to sing along
It means business
The American Popular Song
Goes on and on
The American Popular Song
Goes on and on
And on

It's a popular song
An American popular song
It's a popular song
An American popular song
It's a popular song
An American popular song

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
As 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 pardon me i'd like to say
We'll do ok
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight,
By the fire all alone,you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

Money talks
But it can't sing and dance
And it can't walk
As long as i can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe
and Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We do ok
Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight,
By the fire all alone,you and I
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs

And money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We do okay
forever in blue jeans, babe

As long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll feel the same thing 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
I'll make you feel alright
Hey, do you remember me

Remember when
The world was ours for just one evening
Felt so warm,
Was hard believin' that it would end
But here we are again
Hey, do you remember me

LyricsRemember how
The music filled the empty spaces
And took us off
To distant places we'd never seen

Do you remember now
Still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm baby, warm baby, warm
Say do you remember me

Well,
I'm the boy you gave your heart to
Don't you think
We've been apart too long this time
But you've been on my mind
Say do you remember me

Remember how
The music filled the empty spaces
And took us off
To distant places we'd never seen

Do you remember now
Well I still got my song and I can sing it
My guitar plays beneath my fingers
Warm baby, warm baby, warm
Say do you remember me

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll find the same thing we did before
Just close your eyes
And let me show you
You'll be my reason
And I'll be yours

Maybe tonight
Just for this moment
We'll feel the same things we did before
So just close your eyes
And maybe you'll know it
You'll be my reason
And I'll be yours
Remember me

I see that worried look upon your face
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

She's found somebody else
To take your place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I too have lost my love today
And all of my dreams have blown away
And so forgive me if I seem unkind
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I'd help another time, another place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

She used to love me, that I know
And it don't seem so long ago
That we were walking
And we were talking
The way lovers do

You need some sympathy
Well, so do I
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
I too have lost my love today
And all of my dreams have blown away
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you 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
When it's good for you babe
And you're feeling alright
Well you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
So you'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

And when the hot winds blow tonight
The dancing bumble bee takes flight
And all the flowers in the field
Prepare their nectar soon to yield
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly

Behold the dancing bumble bee
And as they gather 'round to see
His rhythm burns like a raging fire
In passion by that sweet desire
Dance
Dance
Fly
Fly

Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
LyricsI'll make you warm tonight
Come dance

He danced until the morning came
Until the music's last refrain
And though he knew it soon would end
He only lived to dance again
Dance
Dance
Fly

Dance
Dance with me here tonight
I'll make you warm and right
I'll make you warm tonight
Come dance

Dance
Dance
Fly

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
One by one

Oh, and there they stood lost in the haze
With spirits blazing like the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

They held the light
Yes they did
And it shined all night
Oh, all night
And they took the blows
Yes they did
Never letting go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no

And so they came with perfect schemes
And precious dreams that made them one
LyricsOne by one

Oh, look up and see the eagles fly
And fill the sky beneath the sun
Mothers and daughters,
Fathers and sons

You hold the light
Yes you do
And you've got the right
Oh, got the right
And you'll feel the blows
Yes you will
Don't you dare let go
Oh no, oh no

Said that we have the right
Yes we do
It's down in black and white
Oh oh, oh oh

And we made it so
Yes we did
And we won't let go
Oh no, oh no

Take me home on the Memphis Flyer
Take me home to a point down south
Got to go just to keep from dying
Come on, baby,
You and me gonna play house

You and me on the wings of freedom
You and me leave it all behind
I can't say where it's all been leadin'
But come on, baby
Before we go changin' our mind

We can fly
Like a bird on the wings of a song
We get by
We're alive but you know that it won't
Be too long, be too long, be too long

Come on, honey
Time to be movin' on
Now or never, baby
Lyrics
Got to fly like a song of freedom
Got to fly just to save my soul
You get by on the song I'm singin'
Come on, baby
We're too young to be gettin' old

We can fly
Like a bird on the wings of a song
We get by
We're alive but we won't be too long
We can fly, we can fly,
We can fly, we can fly

Why, make me plead
For what I need
And I need you
Why, why make me weep
Cry in my sleep, 'cause I need you

Say "maybe"
Won't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day I

I've been around, finally found
That I need you
And I, I know what I got
And I got a lot
But, baby, I need you

Say "maybe"
LyricsWon't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day

Ooh
What I'd do
Say 'maybe" baby
"Cause I need you
Say
Can I stay
Say "maybe" yeah
'Cause I need you

Say "maybe"
Won't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day

Say, "maybe"
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you

Home town girl in a city of lights
Sleeps all day, yeah,
And she plays all night
Takin' her turn on the merry-go-round
Hearing her laugh but it's a lonely sound

Bring her on up, take her on down
Hearing you laugh babe,
But it's a lonely sound
Leaving it home, on a midnight plane
Hearing you call babe,
In the sound of the rain

Diamond girl
Is there anybody there
At the end of the night
Is it worth what you pay with your soul
When you look in the mirror
Do you see it right
Diamond Girls aren't made to grow old

LyricsSmall town child in the city of dreams
What it was baby, ain't what it seemed
Staking her life on a traveling band
Spending that soul, yeah
On the one night stands

Bring her on up, take her on down
Hearing you laugh
But it's a lonely sound
Leaving your home on a midnight plane
But I'm hearing you call babe,
In the sound of the rain

Diamond girl
Is there anybody there
At the end of the night
Is it worth what you pay with your soul
When you look in the mirror
Do you see it right
Diamond Girls aren't made to grow old

High Times
Make it your way, baby,
Any way you can
But I hear you calling
And I know you need me

Diamond girl
Is there anybody there
At the end of the night
Is it worth what you pay with your soul
When you look in the mirror
Do you see it right
Diamond Girls aren't made to grow old

Diamond girl
Is there anybody there
At the end of the night
Is it worth what you pay with your soul
When you look in the mirror
Do you see it right
Diamond Girls aren't made to grow old
