Neil Diamond Lovescape Lyrics
1.If There Were No Dreams

Written:Neil Diamond/Michel Legrand

If there were no dreams
and there were no dreamers,
then how could I dream you up?
You're still a mystery to me.
The way that we love,
the life that we're leading,
I don't want to give you up.
Whatever I have to do, I'll do.

Put a mountain there, and I'll tear it down.
If it's much too high, then I'll go around.
I won't stop for anyone or anything.
And I'd love you even if
there were no dreams.

If there were no dreams,
how could we be lovers?
And how could I need you so?
The reason's clear to even me.
I'll know that it's right.
You don't need to wonder.
If you're up against that wall,
I'm gonna be up against it, too.

If a mountain's there,
we can tear it down.
If it's much too high,
then we'll go around.
We won't stop for anyone or anything.
We'd be lovers even if
there were no dreams.
Yes, we would:
lovers even if there were no dreams.


2.Mountains Of Love

Lyrics:Neil Diamond
Music:Neil Diamond

Someday, make your way down the coast of South Africa.
There you will say
they're in need of a mountain of love.
Sail away, and you reach all the way down to China.
Don't look away.
They're in need of what we've plenty of.
Got enough to surround every living thing we see.
There's enough to include even you and me.

So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top,
there's mountains of love.
In the end,
Love is what I'm talkin' of.
'Round the bend,
there's mountains of love,
mountains of love.

I know from the glow that I see in the smallest child
that we can go higher still than we ever dreamed of.
Don't you know
there are magical places inside the heart?
Come on, let's go.
We got room on that mountain of love,
room enough to surround every living thing we seel
room enough to include even you and me.

So just keep on tryin',
climbin' to the top.
Check out that view from above.
At the top, there's mountains of love.
In the end,
love always seems to shine through.
'Round the bend
for me and for you,
there's mountains of
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
(Love's all right, mountains made of love.
Love's all right, mountains of love.)
To the top,
let's check out that view from above.
It never stops.
There's mountains of love.

In the end, love always seems to shine through,
'round the bend for me and for you.
At the top, top of those mountains of love...
At the top,
got more than enough.


3.Don't Turn Around

If you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go darling
Maybe it's better that way
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yea see if I care
Go on and go now but

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking

Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be alright
I'm gonna be strong
I'm gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive
Sure I'll make it through
And I'll even learn to live without you

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I wish I could scream out loud
That I love you
I wish I could say to you
Don't go

As he walks away he feels the pain
Getting strong
People in your life they don't know what's
Going on
Too proud to turn around he's gone

Don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart
That you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know


4.Someone Who Believes In You

Lyrics:Neil Diamond
Music:Neil Diamond

Believe me;
I'm someone who believes in you.
Say you really had a million dollars
and a car for ev'ry day of the week,
so what?
You know what?
It wouldn't mean not a single thing
without that someone who believes it, too.
Yeah, you gotta have someone who believes in you.

Say you really had a Hollywood contract
and your face upon a big billboard,
big car, big star.
You'd move a lot, but you wouldn't get far
without that someone who believes it, too.
You better have someone who believes in you.

You are the truest part of me,
that quiet place
where I can be strong.
You come to fill my deepest need.
You call my name,
and I hear your song.

Believe me;
there's someone who believes in you.
So you really got the hots for stardom.
All you need is some big guitar to take you
and make you into an overnight star,
and then you'll find that stars get lonesome, too.
And you better have someone who believes in you.

You are the truest part of me,
that tender place
where I can be strong.
You come to fill my deepest need.
You speak my name,
and I hear your song.

So you really want a job in the circus.
Paint your face and make the people smile.
Hey clown, come on down.
You've been too long walkin' that high wire.
When you're falling, you'll be calling, too,
callin' out to someone who believes you,
someone who's there when nobody needs you,
callin' out to someone who
believes in you.

Fortune of the night,
callin' out my name and saying she'll be mine tonight,
fortune of the night.

Oh, my heart is tellin' me,

callin' out my name and saying I will find her.
Fortune of the night,

fortune of the night.

To want her,

And now's my time.
I've waited, but now's my time to show that I love her.
Fortune of the night,
callin' out to me and saying I was chosen.
Fortune of the night,
tellin' me that we'll be there
until the morning light,
fortune of the night.

8.Hooked On The Memory Of You

Lyrics:Neil Diamond
Music:Neil Diamond
Vocal:Neil Diamond/Kim Carnes

Stay with me, here with me.
I want you near with me.
I'm a man that's hooked on the mem'ry of you
and I. Who knows why?
I only know that I'm sure I am
hooked on the mem'ry of you.

Time, time standing still.
I know it's you.
I always will
need you to
lay with me; lie with me.
Spend your desire with me
if you can.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of you
and I. Who knows why?
I guess I wanted for you to be
hooked on the mem'ry of me.

Time, time standing still.
I know it's you.
I always will
want you to be
here wit me.
I want you to stay right here with me.
I need you to love with me;
laugh with me.
Forgive the past with me.
I know you can.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of
you and I. Who knows why?
Guess I just wanted for you to be
hooked on the mem'ry of me.

Oh, you know that it's true.
Not a thing I can do.
I'm hooked on the mem'ry of you.


9.Wish Everything Was Alright

Written:Neil Diamond/Doug Rhone/Hadley Hockensmith

The more you explain,
the less I feel assured.
The closer I come,
the more you'd hide.
And here's what I think:
we better get in touch.
Wish I could tell you ev'ry thing was alright;
wish ev'rything was alright.

The bigger the thrill,
the more we're gonna pay.
You figure the bill,
it's gonna bite.
The higher we get,
the more we're hangin' on.
Wish I could tell you ev'ry thing was alright;
wish ev'rything was alright.

And I know, I know, I know I love you.
We can make it what we want it to be.
You know, you know, you know you love me.
So ask yourself:where does it lead?

The more we expect,
the less we're gonna find.
Whatever we get
is gonna go.
And here's what I think:
we better stay in touch.
Wish I could tell you ev'ry thing was alright;
wish ev'ry thing was alright.
Wish I could tell you ev'ry thing was alright,
wish ev'rything was alright.


10.The Way

Written:Neil Diamond/Tom Hensley/Alan Lindgren

The way,
as far as I can see it,
I need to find the way to make you mine.
And someday,
when you least expect it,
I hope you find the way
to love me in kind.

The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
And now,
having said I love you,
I've got to find the way to say that I care.
And the way,
having been decided,
is for me to stay
and always be there.

The way
leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.

Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I may not know the words,
but I know the way to you.

The way leading to your heart
can never go wrong.
Leading to your soul,
no road is too long.
Be a part of me;
that's all I can say.
I'm a part of you,
and I know that you are the way.

Just need the way to find you.
I need to find, I need to find, I need to find, I need to find
the way to you.

You are the way. You are the way. You are the way. You are the
way,
the way for me.


11.Sweet L. A. Days

Lyrics:Neil Diamond/Doug Rhone
Music:Neil Diamond/Doug Rhone

I can see it all now.
I will never forget
what you meant to me.
Don't have a single regret.
And I was feelin' alright
when it was just me and you.

We loved with all of our might.
That's all we wanted to do.
There ain't a lot we had to know
except that I wanted you
to be wherever I'd go.
Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace
all that we shared with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days,
sweet L.A. days.

No one could ever replace
how on a Saturday night
we would jump in your car
and how we'd drive through the night
and maybe not get that far.
There wasn't much we had to learn
except that we knew the road would take us through every turn.

Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?
Nobody's gonna replace all that we shared
with each other in those days,
back in those sweet L.A. days, sweet L.A. days.

Ooee baby it's takin' me back,
back to those L.A. days,
sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet L.A. days.
They can't be taken away,
not those L.A. days, no,
those L.A. days,
sweet L.A. days.


12.All I Really Need Is You

Written:Neil Diamond/Tom Hensley/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 you life to mine Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks of 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, knowin' 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


13.Lonely Lady #17

Written:Neil Diamond/Vince Charles/King Erisson

Lonely lady one, she run away.
And number two, she do the same.
Lady number three walk out on me
like number four.
Who's keeping score?
Lady five, oh how she lied.
She made me pay some dues.
Six and seven, eight, nine, ten,
they really were bad news.

Oh no, they'd only break my heart.
That's how it seems.
And then I finally came upon
a lady seventeen.

Lonely lady number seventeen,
she stayed a while.
She had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
she got to be with lonely me.
Lonely, lonely lady number seventeen, yeah.
Lonely lady!

Ladies eleven, twelve and thirteen,
they came and went.
'Baby,' I still can hear them sayin'
'It's time to repent.'
I turned around,
and there she was
with such a sweet surprise:
a lovin' face,
lovin' smile,
and love lights in her eyes.

Lonely lady number seventeen,
you stayed a while.
You had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
come on and be
with lonely me
Oh no, when lady fourteen walked out,
that's when I screamed.
No luck with lady fifteen
or sweet sixteen.

But lonely lady number seventeen,
you stayed a while.
You had the style.
Lonely lady number seventeen,
come on an be
with lonely me.
Lonely, lonely lady
number seventeen, yeah!
Lonely lady!
She makes me feel so sociable


14.I Feel You

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul
I feel you
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love


15.Common Ground

Written:Neil Diamond/Tom Hensley/Alan Lindgren

If you love me,
say you love me.
These are words we find hard to share.
Would you trust me?
Could I trust you?
Will you always want me there?
Or is this just some game called 'nothin' goes right'?
Is this just me to blame
for making these endless nights?
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not.
haven't got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
We need to walk on common ground.
We need to make a lovin' sound.
While we got time,
we got to try.

Were you loving?
Was I caring?
These are feelings too hard to measure.
I'll be loving.
You be caring.
Will it always feel this way?
Or will we find the way to make it alright?
Will that sun come someday
to wake up this endless night?
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No, we're not.
Haven't got all that time.
Looking for a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
Got to find a common ground.
Need to make a lovin' sound
while we got time,
you and I.

And we still have the time to make it work right,
make that sun come to shine
and wake up this endless night.
And who do we think we are,
some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not.
Haven't got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
not the other way around,
you and I.
Got to walk on common ground.
Got to make some lovin' sounds.
We got time to look for some common ground,
find a lovin' sound,
you and I.
Lookin' for a common ground,
not the other way around
for you and I.
Got to walk on common ground,
you and I.
