On The Way To The Sky

Neil Diamond On The Way To The Sky Lyrics
1.Yesterday's Songs

Lyrics:Neil Diamond
Music:Neil Diamond

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'
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'

3.Right By You


4.Only You(And You Alone)

Lyrics:Buck Ram/Andre Rand
Music:Buck Ram/Andre Rand

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

Only you can make this change in me
For it true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You e my dream come true, my one and only you

Only you can make this change in me
For it true, you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do
You e my dream come true, my one and only you

(One and only you)


5.Save Me


6.Be Mine Tonight

Lyrics:Neil Diamond
Music:Neil Diamond

I never needed to hear the truth
You never wanted to know
I never wanted to be unkind
But then something kept telling me go
There was something kept telling me go

We stayed together like birds in a cage
But then of of us had to get free
But who had the heart to say goodbye
Wasn't you so it had to be me
Wasn't you so it had to be me

You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Making me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But oh how I wish you could be mine
Oh how I wish you would
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight

We never knew it for what it was worth
It was worth more than we understood
We never got past the lies and the hurt
And it hurt even when it was good
Yes it hurt even when it was good

You told me to go when I wanted to stay
Making me over in every way
Telling me just what to do with my life
But oh how I wish you could be mine
Oh how I wish you would
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Tonight
Be mine tonight


7.The Drifter

I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
Goin' where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Things are gonna work out for the best

I know you want me to stay
And honey I'd sure like to see it your way
'Cause you're the best I've ever had of late
But somethin' stronger than love somehow
Has got me restless and I gotta go now
But I'll be back this way if you care to wait

I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
Goin' where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Hopin' things are gonna work out for
the best
I keep hopin' to find
A settledown place and a peaceful mind
Wonderin' if it's just around the bend
'Cause with all the things I wanna do
and see
You gotta be a millionaire of broke like me
Walkin' down this road that's got no end.
I'm a drifter floatin' on the sea
Goin' where the currents take me
And I don't think I'll ever come to rest
'Cause I'm a drifter floatin' on the ocean
I've kinda got to where I like the motion
Hopin' things are gonna work out for
the best

9.Rainy Day Song


10.Guitar Heaven

Lyrics:Hubbard
Music:Hubbard

Well, I quit my job down at the car wash,
Left my mama a goodbye note,
By sundown I'd left Kingston,
With my guitar under my coat,
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis,
Got a room at the YMCA,
For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights,
Just lookin' for a place to play,
Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire,
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.
Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis,
I run outta money and luck,
So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia,
On a overloaded poultry truck,
I thumbed on down to Panama City,
Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars,
Hopin' I could make myself a dollar,
Makin' music on my guitar,
I got the same old story at them all night piers,
There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
We don't need a guitar man, son
So I slept in the hobo jungles,
Roamed a thousand miles of track,
Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama,
At a club they call Big Jack's,
A little four-piece band was jammin',
So I took my guitar and I sat in,
I showed 'em what a band would sound like,
With a swingin' little guitar man.
Show 'em, son
If you ever take a trip down to the ocean,
Find yourself down around Mobile,
Make it on out to a club called Jack's,
If you got a little time to kill,
Just follow that crowd of people,
You'll wind up out on his dance floor,
Diggin' the finest little five-piece group,
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico,
Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band,
Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man.
