1. _ Yes I Will
Yes i will
Words and music by neil diamond
Yes i will, 'deed 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 a wounded sparrow,
Helpless and forgotten while 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.
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.

2. _ Lady-oh
Words and music by neil diamond
Lady-oh, lady-oh, i walked the streets again last night.
I saw you in the city light like a vision, lady-oh.
Lady i, lady i, i've been waitin' around such a long long time
Believin' i could make you mine, just wanting you lady-oh.
But here i am and there you are, much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot, you know it does, it hurts a lot.
Oh, lady-oh, am i gonna ever learn what i never learned before?
City lights, city lights burn so warm and they burn so bright,
But me, i walk the city night to forget you, lady-oh.
But here i am and there you are, much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot, you know it does, it hurts a lot.
Oh, lady-oh, am i gonna ever learn what i never learned before?

3. _ I've Been This Way Before
Written by neil diamond
I'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

4. _ Signs
Words and music by neil diamond
Signs that burn like shooting stars
That pass across the nighttime skies,
They reach out in their mystic language
For us to read between the lines.
Some are born who would defy them,
Others still who would deny them, signs.
Signs like moments hung suspended,
Echoes just beneath the heart
Speak in voices half remembered
And half forgotten play their part.
Signs that come as we lay sleeping
Left behind for our keeping, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs that whisper in the dreams of sailors
And of river queens of paupers and of men with means,
It all depends on how it reads.
Some are born who never need them,
Others still who never read them, signs.
Sail along, sail along the reefs and the coves inside your soul.
Sail along, sail along in search of a star that you can hold.
And we journey far to where that star may lead to (lead to).
Signs, signs.
Some are born who never need them,
Others still who never read them, signs.

5. _ Don't Think...feel
Words and music by neil diamond
Sleepy old sun, sleepy old day,
Sleepy old tree gonna make me some shade.
Sleepy old time on my side of town,
I'm feelin' fine, i'll explain to you now.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just don't think twice.
Some worry all day 'bout who they can trust,
Some worry all night 'bout money and lust.
Worry they do and worried they die--
And after they're gone just the bankers cry.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice just don't think twice.
Life is a card, you take what you get.
You do what you can to feel no regret.
You do what you can, forget about words,
Just go with the feelin' it usually works.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice you don't think twice.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.
It don't take plans to clap your hands,
When it feels nice you don't think twice.
Don't think, feel; ain't no big deal.
Just make it real and don't think, feel.

6. _ Stargazer
Words and music by neil diamond
Stargazer, you with your head in the heavens,
You'll never get by walkin' that high off the ground.
Moon dreamer, i've been around and i've seen it;
The higher you get--the harder they let you down.
You pay your dues, it seems forever.
And if you're clever you may be in for a while,
Then you're out of style.
Stargazer, probably think i'm crazy,
And haven't you heard one single word i've said?
Now, i don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, stargazer.
Now, i don't want to burst your bubble, but you got trouble.
Don't you know the higher the top the longer the drop.
Hey, stargazer

7. _ Home Is A Wounded Heart
Words and music by neil diamond
Home is a wounded heart, haven't you heard the story?
He's out for love and for glory and she's waitin' home by the fire.
And wasn't it yesterday, wasn't it me who said it?
I swore that you'd never regret it.
Now home is a wounded heart.
It's a complicated thing, not an ordinary thing
And my heart just breaks in two
'cause i can see you standing there.
You know that i can't bear your wounded heart.
Paint me a red balloon; give me a string and baby i'll tie it,
Give me a ring and baby i'll buy it and bring it on home to you.
Home is a wounded heart.

8. _ Rosemary's Wine
Written by neil diamond
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 couldn'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

9. _ Dry Your Eyes
Words and music by neil diamond and j.r. robertson
Dry your eyes and take your song out, it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer you can still recall the tune.
Dry your eyes and play it slowly like you're marching off to war;
Sing it like you know he'd want it, like we sang it once before.
And from the center of the circle to the midst of the waiting crowd,
If it ever be forgotten sing it long and sing it loud and come dry your eyes.
And he taught us more about giving than we ever cared to know,
But we came to find the secret and we never let it go.
And it was more than being holy and it was less than being free,
And if you can't recall the reason can you hear the people sing.
Right through the lightning and the thunder to the dark side of the moon,
To that distant falling angel that descended much too soon
And come dry your eyes.
Come dry your eyes.

10. _ Lady Magdelene
Words and music by neil diamond
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 unwon
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
Not 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 you 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.

Words and music by neil diamond
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, the last picasso. oh me and you--me oh me oh me oh me and you-- we, we can sigh--me oh me oh me oh me oh we can sigh. the 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 ev'rything else is gone and done 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 sign. oh, me and you.

12. _ The Story Of My Life
Words and music by neil diamond
The story of my life is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth
I was alone.
You found me waiting and made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be a man that you wanted of me
You're the story of my life, and every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you
It's the story of our times and never letting go
And if I die today, I wannted yo to know
Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write
The story of my life is so very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave
