Альбом Neil Diamond

’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
And I’m sure to see your eyes again

For I’ve been released
And I’ve been regained
And I’ve sung my song before
And I’m sure to sing my song again

Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never wondering why

Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die

But I’ve been released
And I’ve been regained
And I’ve been this way before
And I’m sure to be this way again

One more time again
Just one more time

And her eyes hurt the way they do
Almost like they'd seen,
Almost like they knew

And her words, soft as they could be
Tied me to her soul and wouldn't set me free

And the night that held us in its arms
It held us once again,
But even then I knew this time
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's Wine

Lately I, seem to be inclined
More to being cold, less to being kind
And I suppose that I've been less than true
Being what I am, what was I to do

So I drink
The sweetness of her soul
And drink it once again
But even then I guess I'd known
That I would decline
Sweet Rosemary's wine

The man on the right is a man undone
He'd give you his soul
If you asked him for some
A child in his way for he needs to believe
That love is a song for each man to sing

The man on the left is a prize un-won
A candle unlit and a song unsung
Believing that love is a dreamer's dream
The man on the left,
The me in between

Lady Magdelene,
I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain
Singing to the passing river
Take me home,
Show me peaceful days
Before my youth has gone

The man in between waits between the two
LyricsNot hearing the lie and not seeing the true
Unknowing what is and denying what seems
And there he will sleep
The man in between

Lady Magdelene,
I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain
Singing to the passing river
Take me home,
Show me peaceful days
Before my youth has gone

Lady Magdelene,
Make the sound of silent thunder
Calling from the lips of Abraham
Make a sound that we may wonder,
Where we are
Take us to your soul
For we have wandered far

The man on the right was a man undone
The man on the left like a prize unwon
And God only knows
What their time will bring
Or what will become
Of the man in between

Ah,
The last Picasso
The last Picasso
Was just acquired by some old museum
And Don Quixote
Well, Don Quixote
The old man's rhyme has lost its reason

Which only reminds me
Have I remembered to say
That without you this life of plenty
Would seem so empty
Ah, The last Picasso

Oh, me and you
Me oh me, oh me, oh me, oh me and you
We, we can sigh
Me, oh me, oh me, oh me we can sigh
Hey

Ah,
LyricsThe last Picasso
The last Picasso
May gather dust amid the ruins
And Don Quixote
Well, Don Quixote may no longer
Make his wishful tunes
But I still have you
And I will have you
When everything else is done and gone with
We'll be like one with, the last Picasso

Oh, me and you
Me oh me, oh me, oh me, oh me and you
We, we can sigh
Me oh me, oh me oh me, oh we can sigh

Oh, me and you
Me oh me, oh me, oh me, oh me and you
We, we can sigh
Me oh me, oh me, oh me, oh we can sigh
Oh, me and you

We, we can sigh
Me oh me, oh me, oh we can sigh
Oh, me and you

Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I'd made
For she was a lady and I was a dreamer with only words to trade.
You know that I was born for a night like this
Warmed by a stolen kiss
for I was lonely
and she was lonely.

Ride
come on baby
ride
let me make your drems come true
I'll sing my song
let me sing my song

let me make it warm for you.
I'll weave his web of rhyme upon the summer night
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade

There I will sing to you my Long fellow .Serenade.

Longfellow serenade
such were the plans I made
But she was a lady as deep as the river
And through the night we stayed.
And in my way I loved her as none before

Loved her with words and more.
For she was lonely and I was lonely.

Ride
come on baby
ride
Iet me make your dreams come tru

Yes I will
Indeed 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
Love was in this strange house
And he knew he did belong,
Yes he did belong
Yes I will,
'Deed I will, if I can

And cold it was within the marrow
Waiting like the wounded sparrow
Helpless and forgotten
LyricsWhile the radio played on
Sing your song you fool, you dreamer
Cross the space that lies between us
Cast the stones of fortune
For the journey has begun,
Yes it has begun

So you do,
So you want to be giving
Say it out loud if you need to be holy
So you do,
So you want to be loving
Say it out now
If you need to be holier still

[added Quad lyrics only:]
Say you do, Say you want to be giving
Say it out loud if you need to be holy,

And you do and you want to be loving
Say it out now
If you need to be holier still

So it seems or so it may be
I can't know for sure but lately seems
I'm on a journey
To a place I've never been

And baby if I had the answers
I would lay them all before you
Plainly it's a circle,
One that ends and then begins,
And begins again
Yes I will,
'Deed I will if I can

Some dey do, some dey don't do
Some dey won't do,,
Some won't even try
How are you to know
You got to go and ask it
How are you go and ask it
Maybe you move it by

Pardon me
Maybe you like to dance it
Maybe you like to chance it
Maybe you like to try

Maybe lady do Reggae Strut
Maybe lady she do okay
Maybe lady do Reggae
Making de hips sway, movin' it okay

Some dey wait, some dey can't wait
Some dey won't wait
Some don't even try
Lyrics
Try like me, pick up the elbow higher
Kick up de foot and glide it
You got to dance it by

Maybe lady do Reggae Strut
Maybe lady she do okay
Maybe lady do Reggae
Making de hips sway, movin' it okay

Dat's de way, you got the right motion
You got the right notion
Now maybe you dance it by
Hey de lady do Reggae Strut
Hey de lady she do okay
Hey de lady do Reggae
Making the hips sway, movin' it okay

Songs to make you free
And songs to take you to another time
Forgotten reasons that are made of rhyme
For you and me
The songs of life
That somehow make us free

And songs to fill the heart
Like quiet candles on a winter's night
They touch the space
That lies between you and I
And I will sing
The songs of love
That speak to you and me

Then wake the sleeping child
And let me sing to you of other times
And let me make your dreams
As sweet as mine
And I will bring
The gift of song
That only makes us free
