Yesterday’s Songs – Neil Diamond

Saying “I love you”
Just sayin’ “I love you”

Yesterday’s songs
Don’t stay around long
Not much anymore
Yesterday’s words
Don’t make themselves heard
Like they did before

Baby, yesterday’s blues
May be yesterday’s news
But the truth always stays the same
And the good things will never change
Like sayin’ “I love you”
Just sayin’ “I love you”

Yesterday’s songs
Don’t seem to belong
They’re here and they’re gone
Yesterday’s moves
Don’t stay in the grooves
They keep moving on

Maybe yesterday’s rhyme
Was for yesterday’s time
And the future’s not ours to see
But there’s some things that always will be
Like sayin’ “I love you”
Sayin’ “I love you”

Baby, yesterday’s blues
May be yesterday’s news
But the truth always stays the same
And the good things will never change
Like sayin’ “I love you”
Just sayin’ “I love you”
Sayin’ “I love you”
Like sayin’ “I love you”

September Morn – Neil Diamond

Lyrics

Stay for just a while
Stay and let me look at you
It’s been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door

Stay with me a while
I only wanna talk to you
We’ve traveled halfway ’round the world
To find ourselves again

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

Look at what you’ve done
Why, you’ve become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you crying
In a corner of your room
And look how far we’ve come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that we’ve forgotten
How it was before

September morn
Do you remember
How we danced that night away
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way

September morn
We danced until the night
Became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes
From some romantic play
September morning
Still can make me feel that way
September morning

Be – Neil Diamond (Jonathan Livingston Seagull)

Lyrics:

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet’s eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for words
Which speaks on a theme that’s timeless
While the sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your day

Play Me – Neil Diamond

Lyrics
She was moring
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
“Come take me”

For I’ve been lonely
In need of someone
As though I’d done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don’t know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play me
