1. _ Open Wide These Prison Doors
Written by: neil diamond and stewart harris
Tied by love to you, but i was tied too strong
Still i'm afraid of knowing what leaving means
I know i lived for you, and all i tried to do
You were the keeper of my dreams
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that i'm no more
And don't mind when i depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
You were always caring, always warm and kind
But that was long ago, when love was blind
And i don't want to hurt you, the way that i've been hurt
But if i stay i'll lose my mind
Open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that i'm no more
And don't mind when i depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Time is always moving
While we're here standing still
I love you even though i'm leaving
And maybe i always will
But, open wide these prison doors
Take these chains from around my heart
Make believe that i'm no more
And don't mind when i depart
Need to find another place
Where love is not just tossed away
And if you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
If you really care for me
Open wide these prison doors
And set me free
Set me free, yeah
Come on and set me free
Set me free

2. _ Shame
(sung with hal ketchum) written by neil diamond and hal ketchum
(check it out
I'm a little man
But you're my woman
And together we'll be strong)
The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Ain't no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just ain't no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I don't care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, i've seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words don't count at all
Because i don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
I remember the day that i drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And i'll be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once you're back in my arms
You won't be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, i've seen it in your eyes
They'll hurt you with their lies
But their words don't count at all
Because i don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
No, i don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you
Me, i don't care what they say
There ain't no shame in loving you

3. _ Can Anybody Hear Me
Written by: neil diamond and bill labounty
You've gotta take your time now
If love is gonna take you by the hand
You need to take your time though
'cause love is not a thing you can command
There's gotta be a reason
Gotta be a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru in spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
I listen to the river
And hear the river calling out a name
Trying to forgive her
But nothing's gonna ever be the same
There's gotta be a reason
Gotta be a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru in spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
Gotta be a reason
Gotta feel a closeness
Gotta have a feeling
Only you can know it
And when you find love hold on tight
Don't ever waste another night
You're gonna make it thru in spite of your fears
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
Can anybody hear me
Is anybody out there
Can anybody out there hear me

4. _ Gold Don't Rust
Written by: neil diamond and gary burr and tom shapiro
I know you worry everytime i go away
You wonder will these sweet sweet feelings shine or fade
But that's a question you don't have to ask
What heaven makes, it always makes to last
Gold don't rust, love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that i die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
I wish that i could give you what you need from me
But what good is a promise or a guarantee
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that i die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
Love is still a simple act of faith
And a faithful is heart is always worth the weight
Gold don't rust, love don't lie
I'll be true, till the day that i die
Trust in me, you will find
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long long time
Baby you're the gold in this heart of mine
And that gold will shine for a long, long long time

5. _ No Limit
Written by: neil diamond and richard bennett
Something's gotta be known
Some don't need to be said
Which way we're gonna go
Staying home's just making me mad
Me, i gotta get out
Me, i got a few rights
Don't need to worry or doubt
'cause i'm gonna be rocking tonight
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me
Let it be
Be just fine
No limit to it anytime
Me, i'm telling the truth
Saying it right in the crowd
Any chance with you
Hey you know i'm gonna be around
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
If we don't make it
We don't make it
I won't cry
Well, i've been thinking
And i know one thing
We're never gonna make it
If we don't try
Me, i'm feeling good
Ain't no fooling around
I've been misunderstood
But i know what i'm talking about
Get on board
Check it out
Look around,
Ain't no limit to what love allows
You and me
Got to fly
Set it free
No limit if you just know how
Ain't no limit to what love allows

6. _ A Matter Of Love
Written by: neil diamond and tom shapiro
If you've been feeling blue
Hey, it's been the same for me
Now i'm here with you
You're exactly what i need
Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart is meant to be
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
We've got magic here, it's the power of love i know
It's dancing in the air, i can feel the feeling grow
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And i won't ever let you go
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
Nothing's ever gonna seperate us
You and me, it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And i won't ever let you go
Say, everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
(it's a matter of love...)

7. _ Tennessee Moon
Written by: neil diamond & dennis morgan
Hollywood don't do what it once could do
I used to wake up and write me a song before noon
So i packed my dusty bags one night
Grabbed an old guitar and i caught a red eye(?) flight
In search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
Makes me wonder, is it the same moon hank played under
Touched down and she stole my heart right away
Began to think for the first time i might stay
And when i heard that lonesome whistle moan
Knew i'd finally found my way back home
In search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
And i wonder, is it the same moon hank stood under
When he sang about jambalaya and being lonesome enough to cry
And i can hear the echos in the sounds of his guitar
And his words still paint a picture in my heart
Yeah, in search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
I fell in love with to old hank williams tune
I was in search of a dream underneath the tennessee moon
Yes, i fell in love with to old hank williams tune

8. _ Marry Me
(sung with buffy lawson) written by: neil diamond and tom shapiro
Say that you'll marry me
Sometimes carry me
And i will be there forever more
For you
And if you marry me
I will give everything
And i will do anything that you need
We do
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know, cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
This i promise
If you marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
We'll make some memories
And maybe a dream or two
Will come true, who knows
This i can say for sure
All that i have is yours
You'll never wonder where i stand
It shows
You'll know, by the love in my eyes
And the beat of my heart
I'll be there
You'll know, cause you'll never be lonely again
Anytime anywhere
All i promise you i will be
If you'll only say you'll marry me
I won't ever forget these words
And i'll love you for all i'm worth
If you say you will marry me
Won't you marry me
Marry me

9. _ Deep Inside Of You
(sung with beth neilson chapman) written by: neil diamond and beth neilson chapman
Good morning, i love you
Now that you're here where you belong
I want to be the man you need
Just tell me, you love me
Because i need to hear it too
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you
I need you beside me
The road is so long
You run thru my heart
Like the words of a bitter sweet song
I'll travel the whole world
Across the earth, around the sun
If i could be the one
You carry deep inside of you
Without you beside me
The road is so long
You live in my heart
And it hurts when i think of you gone
I need you, in my way
I have no right to love so true
But let me be the one
The one who lives deep inside of you
Just let me be the one
You carry deep inside of you

10. _ Reminisce For A While
(sung with raul malo) written by: neil diamond and raul malo
Being here is being where i want to be
I don't suppose you'll ever know how much you mean
And for all the heartaches we've been thru
I know that i could not forget my time with you
I'd much rather stay
But i'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while
There was a time i had the will to carry on
But i let go even though you're what i want
Could have been to keep you warm when i was gone
I never knew that near you's where i belong
I'd much rather stay
But i'll be on my way
And never again see you smile
For all that it's worth
I'd move heaven and earth
To just reminisce for a while
We'll just reminisce for a while

11. _ Win The World
Written by: neil diamond and susan longacre
I never noticed when you changed your hair
Just another of those moments, i was only half there
When you wore that red dress, that was kind'a up to here
I never noticed, you were wearing a tear
I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was i thinking of
One time too often, i didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere i lost you, i never saw you
Only trying to win my love
It should have been easy, for all of those times
It would have been me there, if i knew the signs
When you wore that red dress, how could i know then
You'd wear it for me once, and never wear it again
I was always trying to win the world
What on earth was i thinking of
One time too often, i didn't hold you enough
I was always trying to win the world
But somewhere i lost you, 'cause i never saw you
Only trying to win my love
Somewhere i lost you, 'cause i never saw you
Only trying to win my love

12. _ If I Lost My Way
Written by: neil diamond and gary burr
If i lost my way
Would you stand with me
Would you love me still
And care for what i need
If i lost my way
If i lost my faith
To face up to the test
Would i let you down
Would you love me less
If i lost my way
Tell me i'm afraid without good reasons
Say that i'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If i lost my way
If i lost my way
If i lost my dreams
Could i keep your trust
Promise that our love
Would not turn to dust
If i lost my way
Tell me i'm afraid without good reasons
Say that i'm a fool to feel this way
Could it be the me that you believed in
Is all you really need to make you stay
If i lost my way
Would you stand with me
Would you love me still
And care for what i need
If i lost my way
If i lost my way
If i lost my way
If i lost my way

13. _ Talking Optimistic Blues (good Day Today)
Written by: neil diamond and gretchen peters
I got worries by the ton
Getting kansas only one
Over taxed and alimony
Tired of eating fried baloney
I got burdens on my shoulders
Dying young and growing older
There's some brain cells i'm missing
But despite it all, i'd like to say
I'm gonna have a good day today
Gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Bills and pills and former wives
Past estates and former lives
Bank account is overdrawn
Had a ??? and hairline's gone
Hearing voices in my head
Saying i should have stayed in bed
Doc just died but what the heck
Nothing worse can happen anyway
So i'm gonna have a good day today
Me, i'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Pulled my back and wrecked my car
Girlfriend stole my vcr
Letter came from sixty minutes
Saying they wanna put me in it
Tell me my career just died
Years ago i might have cried
Now i'm just too old to do it
Maybe true but screw it anyway
Me, i'm gonna have a good day today
And i'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today
Hey i'm gonna have a good day today
Me, i'm gonna have a good time anyway
Put it all behind me, lay it all away
Gonna be a good day today

14. _ Kentucky Woman
Written by: neil diamond
Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She looks at you once
And a day that's all wrong looks all right
And i love her
God knows i love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Well, she ain't the kind
Make heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turns you on just the same
And i love her
God knows i love her
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
I don't want much
The good lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, i'm talking about
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
I don't want much
The good lord's earth beneath the feet
A gentle touch
Of that one girl and life is
Sweet and good
There ain't no doubt
Hey, i'm talking about
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman
Kentucky woman

15. _ Like You Do
(sung with rosemary butler) written by: sandy knox and steve rosen
Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies
And love will never leave me in the dark
No, love never breaks my heart
Like you do, like you do
Love doesn't have unapproachable walls
Or a heart that beckons and then withdraws
And love would never steal my dignity
Love has never made a fool of me
Like you do, like you do
Oh, and i have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love is unkind
It is not love anymore
Love never threatens of frightens me
It's not held together with apologies
Love never screams my name
No, and love never turns away
Like you do, like you do
And i have known times
When love seems unsure
But when love maybe unkind
Love never turns away
Like you do, like you do
Like you do, like you do

16. _ Blue Highway
(featuring chet atkins) written by: neil diamond and harlan howard
So long big city
It's time to say goodbye
I'm longing for those country roads
I need to see the sky
Think i'll take a swing down south
Visit tennessee
See if that girl annie
Still remembers me
Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now i'm gone
And i know where i'm bound
I don't wanna take the interstate
It represents all the things i hate
I'm rolling down that blue highway
So long confusion
It's time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends
Ease on out of town
I made me some money here
I paid for every day
And every mile just makes me smile
'cause i've made my getaway
Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now i'm gone
And i know where i'm bound
I've had it up to here with worry
From now on i'm in no hurry
Rolling down that blue highway
I'll be rolling down that blue highway
You can find me on that blue highway

17. _ One Good Love
(duet with waylon jennings) written by: neil diamond and gary nicholson
It took a while for me to know
What i was looking for
And every heart i've ever known
Has left me wanting more
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
Lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love
I followed all of life's pleasures
Wherever they will be
But someone i can treasure
Is all i really need
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love
Can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
One good love

18. _ Everybody
Written by: neil diamond and jesse diamond
Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna be leaving
Everybody's the same around the world
If you wanna find someone
Then you only have to show it
Nothing's sadder than love that's left unheard
Me, how i try to deny
That it pointed to you
Too many roads up ahead
Looking shiny and new
Everybody needs someone
But it's gotta mean something
Giving up a part of you's the hardest part
If you wanna have someone
Then you really gotta know it
Doesn't take very much to break a heart
May i get lost in your eyes
For a lifetime or two
Something about your and i
Leads me right to the truth
Some people always got
Some thing they've got left to say
Some need to keep it inside
They just wanna hide away
And i'm glad i have you there
'cause i would have been nowhere
Being here all alone's a lonely sound
Everybody needs someone
That they're gonna be leaving
Everybody's the same around the world
