1. _ Cracklin' Rosie
cracklin' rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have made me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing here that i care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when i want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune
Oh, i love my rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin rose, you're a store bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' rosie, make me a smile
Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's al right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions, yeah
Oh, i love my rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin rose, you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on
Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' rosie, make me a smile
Girl if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't ask no question, yeah

2. _ Heartbreak Hotel
(duet with kim carnes) written by: mae boren axton, tommy durden, elvis presley
Now, since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
Down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel
I get so lonely, baby, i get so lonely
I get so lonely, i could die
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away their gloom
I get so lonely, baby, i get so lonely
I get so lonely, i could die
The bell hop's tears keep flowing
The desk clerk's dressed in black
They've been so long lonely street
They will never go back
I get so lonely, baby, i get so lonely
I get so lonely, i could die
So if your baby leaves you and you have a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street to heartbreak hotel
I get so lonely, baby, i get so lonely
I get so lonely, i could die

3. _ Be
Written by: neil diamond
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 sould
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

Holly holy eyes
Dream of only you
Where i am, what i am
What i believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And i run just like the wind will

And the sun's gonna rise in the sky
Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly

Take the lonely child
And the seed
Let it be filled with tomorrow

Touch a man who can't walk upright
And the lame man, he's gonna fly
And i fly
And i fly

5. _ Heartlight
Written by: neil diamond, burt bucharach and carole bayer sager
Come back again
I want you to stay next time
Cause sometimes the world ain't kind
When people get lost like you and me
I just made a friend
A friend is someone you need
But now that he has to go away
I still feel the words that he might say
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
He's lookin' for a home
Cause everyone needs a place
A home's the most excellent place of all
And i'll be right here if you should call me
Turn of your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
Turn on your heartlight
In the middle of a young boy's dream
Don't wake up too soon
Gonna take a ride across the moon
You and me
Turn on your heartlight now
Turn on your heartlight now

6. _ Love On The Rocks
Written by: neil diamond and gilbert becaud
Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And i'll tell you some lies
Got nothing to lose
So you just sing the blues all the time
Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all i want is a smile
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in the storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
May be blue skies above
But it's cold when you're love's on the rocks
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in the storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And i'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone
And now all i want is a smile

7. _ September Morn
Written by: neil diamond and gilbert becaud
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 want to 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 this way
Look at what you've done
Why, you've become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you cryin'
In the 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 this way

8. _ America
Written by: neil diamond
Far
We've been travelling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to america
Never looking back again
They're coming to america
Home, don't it seem so far away
Oh, we're travelling light today
In the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm
Home, to a new and a shiny place
Make our bed, and we'll say grace
Freedom's light burning warm
Freedom's light burning warm
Everywhere around the world
They're coming to america
Every time that flag's unfurled
They're coming to america
Got a dream to take them there
They're coming to america
Got a dream they've come to share
They're coming to america
They're coming to america
They're coming to america
They're coming to america
They're coming to america
Today, today, today, today, today
My country 'tis of thee
(today)
Sweet land of liberty
(today)
Of thee i sing
(today)
Of thee i sing

9. _ Desiree
Written by: neil diamond
It was the third of june
On that summer's day
Well i became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, desiree
There i was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, desiree
Oh, desiree
Somehow i knew
I could only have you
'til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet desiree, you make it right
Then came the fourth of june
On that sleepless night
Well i tossed and i turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget
Desiree
Oh, desiree
There i was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, desiree
Oh, desiree
And though somehow i knew
I could only have you
'til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember desiree

10. _ I Am ... I Said
La's fine, sunshine most of the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and the rents are low
But you know i keep thinking about
Making my way back
Well, i'm new york city born and raised
But nowadays, i'm lost between two shores
La's fine, but it ain't home
New york's home but it ain't mine no more
I am, i said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, i cried
I am, i said
And i am lost, and i can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me, the story's the same one
But i got an emptiness deep inside
And i've tried but it won't let me go
And i'm not a man who likes to swea
But i've never cared for the sound of being alone
I am, i said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, i cried
I am, i said
And i am lost, and i can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still

Lord of my night, night, night
Seek for my way, way, way
Taking me home
She callin'
Bring me home my name
On the wings of a flea
Wind in the plains
Dance once for me
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon

12. _ Sweet Caroline
written by: neil diamond
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then i know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now i
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when i hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can i hurt when i'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' me
Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
I believed they never could
Sweet caroline

13. _ Shilo
Written by: neil diamond
Young child with dreams
Dream, ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shile, you always came
And we'd play
Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like i could
Held out my hand, and i let her take me
Blind as a child
All i saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shile, you always came
And you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"got to go, and i know you'll understand"
I understand
Shilo, when i was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

14. _ Play Me
Written by: neil diamond
She was morning
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 the road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me
You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

15. _ Song Sung Blue
Written by: neil diamond
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

16. _ Hello Again
Written by: neil diamond and alan lindgren
Hello again, hello
Just called to say 'hello'
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And i know it's late
But i couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When i'm here alone
And you're there at home
Hello
Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe i'm to blame
But i put my heart above my head
We've been thru it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear
Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like i do
And to feel this way
When i hear you say
Hello
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And i know it's late
But i couldn't wait
Hello

Written by: neil diamond
Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All i can do, i've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go
I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And i find
Just one thing
Makes me forget
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

18. _ I'm A Believer
Written by: neil diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if i tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more i gave the less i got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When i needed sunshine i got rain
Then i saw her face
Now i'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if i tried

19. _ Beautiful Noise
Written by: neil diamond
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat
It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It's got a rhythm to spare
It's a beautiful noise
And it's sound that i love
And it's fit me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the park
It's the song of the kids
And it plays until dark
It's the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To beat of the lights
It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that i love
And it makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise
It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy an of strife
Like a symphony played
By a passing parade
It's the music of life
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up to my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune

20. _ Longfellow Serenade
longfellow serenade
Written by: neil diamond
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 dreams come true
I'll sing my song
Let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave this web of rhyme
Upon this summer night
We'll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade
There i'll sing to you
My longfellow 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
Let me make your dreams come true
I'll sing my song
Let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you
I'll weave this web of rhyme
Upon this summer night
We'll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade
There i'll sing to you
My longfellow serenade

21. _ Morningside
Written by: neil diamond
Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands he carved these words inside
"for my children"
Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For i recall the words the old man signed
"for my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children sat around this table
Touched with their laughter
Ah, and that was good
Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitath
"for my children"

And the tune can be sung, and the words all rhyme
Deede-ee deet deet deet deet deet deet deedle dee dee

Good lord
Let me hear that, let me near that
Crunchy granola suite
Drop your shrink, and stop your drinkin'
Crunchy granola's neat

And he'd hide in a house and he didn't say much
Deedle-dee deet deet deet deet deet deet deedle dee doo
And like a man with a tiger outside his gate
He not only couldn't relax, but he couldn't relate
Now he can

Drop your shrink, and stop your drinkin'

Written by: neil diamond
Mama told me that some day it would happen
But she never said it would happen like this
Papa said, "look out, some girl'll catch you nappin'
Some little girl will get to you with her kiss"
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine
Used to slip thru every girl's hand like water
There never was one who could tie me down
Straight ahead and steady as gibraltar
'til you brought me tumblin' to the ground
You got to me
You brought me to my knees
Never thought i'd say please, girl
You got to my soul
You got control
You got to me, you got to be mine

27. _ Forever In Blue Jeans
Written by: neil diamond and richard bennet
Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't talk
As long as i can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
Honey is sweet
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat
And if you'll pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
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 don'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
And honey is sweet
But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat
And if you'll pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
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

28. _ All I Really Need Is You
Written by: neil diamond, tom hensley and alan lindgren
After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still i couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time i stop to think
What it is i really need
Here's what i conclude
All i really need is you
Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can i, knowing how i've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have i spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All i really need is you
How was i to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied your life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks for me
What it is that i believe
Say, i believe it's true
All i really need is you
Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can i, knowing how i've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have i spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, i'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you i'm gonna always love you so
Cause all i really need is you

29. _ Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon
Written by: neil diamond
Love you so much, can't count all the ways
I'd die for you girl, and all they can say is
"he's not your kind"
They never get tired of puttin' me down
And i never know when i come around
What i'm gonna find
Don't let them make up your mind
Don't you know
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man
I've been misunderstood for all of my life
But what they're sayin', girl, just cuts like a knife
"the boy's no good"
Well, i finally found what i've been looking for
But if they get the chance, they'll end it for sure
Sure they would
Baby, i've done all i could
It's up to you
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Please come take my hand
Girl, you'll be a woman soon
Soon you'll need a man

Hey, we're headed for the future
Give us some room
We're gonna build a new world
Say, we're headed for the future

We're headed for the future
And the future's now

Yeah, we're headed for a new place
A step at a time
We're gonna take a long ride
Time don't wait around forever
We've got to do it right now
Let's do it all together
Lean on me
And i'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
And the future's now
Show you how
Lean on me
Cause i'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
Come on, lean on me
And i'm gonna lean on you
We're headed for the future
And the future's ours
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on

31. _ Brooklyn Roads
Written by: neil diamond
If i close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home, and it's time for supper
Hurry on"
And i see two boys
Racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where's it gone
Oh, where's it gone
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As i stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
I can still recall
The smell of cookin' in the hallways
Rubber drying in the doorways
And report cards i was always
Afraid to show
Mama'd come to school
And as i'd sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "he's just not trying
He's got a good head if he'd apply it"
But you know yourself
It's always somewhere else
I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And i'd ride off with them
As i stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back
But all i'd see are strangers' faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places
I'm wonderin'
What's come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what i did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

32. _ Thank The Lord For The Night Time
Written by: neil diamond
Daytime turns me off, and i don't mean maybe
Nine-to-five ain't taking me where i'm bound
When it's done, i run out to see my baby
We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the lord for the night time
I thank the lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby, i got plenty
Nothing ever seems turn out the way it should
Talk about money, girl, i ain't got any
Seems like just one time i'm feelin' good
I thank the lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
I get relaxation
It's a time to groove
I thank the lord for the night time
I thank the lord for you

33. _ If You Know What I Mean
when the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
Closed my eyes and i could make it real
And feel it one more time
Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what i mean
If you know what i mean, baby
And here's to the song we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go
Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe
It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe
And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what i mean
If you know what i mean
If you know what i mean
If you know what i mean
If you know what i mean
If you know what i mean, baby
If you know what i mean

34. _ Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Written by: neil diamond
Hot august night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It's love, love
Brother love's travelling salvation show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother love's show
Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
It's love, love
Brother love's travelling salvation show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother love's show
(sermon)
Take my hand in your hand
Walk with me this day
In my heart i know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
It's love, love
Brother love's travelling salvation show
Pack up the babies
Grab the old ladies
Everyone goes
Everyone knows
Brother love's show
Amen

35. _ I Got The Feelin' (oh No, No)
Written by: neil diamond
Oh no, no, no
Baby, something's wrong
Oh no, no, no
That old time fire's gone
It's not so much things you say, love
It's what you don't say i am afraid of
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, no, no
You don't smile the same
Oh no, no, no
Like you been hidin' pain
I love you so much, i could taste it
But girl, your eyes tell me it's wasted
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
Don't have to say it
It's there in your eyes
Oh why, oh my
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, baby
I got the feelin'
I'm hearin' goodbye
I got the feelin'
That i'm gonna die

36. _ You Don't Bring Me Flowers
(duet with brabra streisand) written by: neil diamond, alan bergman and marilyn bergman
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come thru 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
And you're feelin' alright
Well you just roll over
And 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 leared how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think i could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'cause you don't bring me flowers anymore
