1.Tennessee Moon
Written：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 to an 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 fin'lly found my way back home.
In search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.
And I wonder： is it the same moon Hank stood under
when he sang about jambalaya and bein' 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 to an old Hank Williams tune.
I was in search of a dream underneath the Tennessee moon,
yes, I fell in love to an old Hank Williams tune.
2.One Good Love
Written：Neil Diamond／Gary Nicholson
Vocal：Neil Diamond／Waylon Jennings
It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for.
And ev'ry heart I've ever known
Just left me wanting more.
One good love can turn it all around,
Take hold of a restless heart
And 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 life's pleasures
Wherever they would lead.
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,
When all you really need to find
Is one good love.
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough,
When all you really need to find
Is one good love, one good love.
3.Shame
Lyrics：Neil Diamond／Hal Ketchum
Music：Neil Diamond／Hal Ketchum
(Spoken) Check it out now. I'm a little man,
but you're my woman,
and together we're strong.
The end of the road is lonesome and cold;
ain't no place for makin' 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 through.
I don't care what they say;
]they never loved one like you.
Shame： it comes in ev'ry size,
touches many lives, knocks on many doors.
Shame： I've seen it in your eyes.
They hurt you with their lies,
but words don't count at all.
'Cause 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.
That train that took you away,
it's gonna bring you back home.
And I'll be standing right there
in the cold morning air
when that train comes a rollin' in.
Lorene, once you're back in my arms,
you won't be leaving again.
Shame： it comes in ev'ry size,
touches many lives, knocks on many doors.
Shame： I've seen it in your eyes.
They hurt you with their lies;
their words don't count at all.
And 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 loving you.
4.A Matter Of Love
Lyrics：Neil Diamond／Tom Shapiro
Music：Neil Diamond／Tom Shapiro
If you've been feelin' blue,
Hey, it's been the same for me.
Now I'm here with you,
And you're exactly what I need.
Put your defenses down.
Let me show you now
This heart to heart was meant to be.
And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.
I only want to have you in my life.
All I really had to see 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.
The connection between you and me,
can't you see it's a matter trust,
Matter of us,
Matter of love.
We got magic here;
It's the power of love, I know.
It's dancin' in the air,
And I can feel the feelin' grow.
Put your defenses down.
Let me hold you now,
And I won't ever let you go.
And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.
I only want to have you in my life.
All I really had to see 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.
Nothin's ever gonna separate 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.
And ev'ry thing about you feels so right.
I only want to have you in my life.
All I really had to see 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.
The 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.

Written：Neil Diamond／Tom Shapiro
Vocal：Neil Diamond／Buffy Lawson
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 ev'ry thing.
And I will do anything that you need me to.
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.

and I'll love you for all I'm worth
If you say you will marry me.
Won't you marry me？
Marry me.
6.Deep Inside Of You
Written：Neil Diamond／Beth Nielsen Chapman
Vocal：Neil Diamond／Beth Nielsen 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 through my heart like the words of a bitter-sweet song.
I'd 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 inside of you.
Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you.
7.Gold Don't Rust
Written：Neil Diamond／Gary Burr／Bob Dipiero
I know you worry ev'ry time I go away.
You wonder will these sweet, sweet feelings shine or fade.
Well, 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 'til 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 heart is always worth the wait.
Gold don't rust. Love don't lie.
I'll be true 'til 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 heart is always worth the wait.
Gold don't rust. Love don't lie.
I'll be true 'til 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, yeah.
8.Like You Do
Written：Sandy Knox／Steve Rosen
Vocal：Neil Diamond／Rosemary Butler
Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies.
And love would 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 becons and then withdraws.
And love would never steal my dignity.
Love has never made a fool of me like you do, like you do, like
you do.
Oh, and I have know times when love seems unsure.
But when love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
Love never threatens or 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.
Oh, and I have know times when love seems unsure.
But where love may be unkind, love never turns away like you do,
like you do, like you do, like you do.
9.Can Anybody Hear Me
Written：Neil Diamond／Bill Labounty
You got to 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 got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me？
Is anybody out there？
I listen to the river and hear the river callin' out her name.
I'm tryin' to forgive her, but nothin's ever gonna be the same.
There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me？
Is anybody out there？
There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me？
Is anybody out there？
Can anybody hear me？
Is anybody out there？
10.Win The World
Written：Neil Diamond／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 cut up to here,
I never noticed you were wearing a tear.
I was always try'n' to win the world.
What on earth was I thinking of？
One time too often I didn't hold you enough.
I was always try'n' to win the world,
but somewhere I lost you.
('Cause)I never saw you only try'n' to win my love.
It should have been me there 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 try'n' to win the world.
What on earth was I thinking of？
One time too often I didn't hold you enough.
I was always try'n' to win the world,
but somewhere I lost you.
('Cause) I never saw you only try'n' to win my love.
Somewhere I lost you, 'cause I never saw you
only try'n' to win my love.
11.No Limit
Written：Neil Diamond／Richard Bennett
Some things got to be known.
Some don't need to be said.
Which way we gonna go？
Stayin' home is just making me mad.
Me, I got to get out.
Me, I got to feel right.
Don't need to worry or doubt 'cause I'm gonna be rockin'
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 any time.
Me, I'm telling you true; say it right in a crowd.
Any chance with you, hey, you know I'm gonna be 'round.
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, and I won't cry.
But I been thinkin' and I know one thing：
we're never gonna make it if we don't try.
Me, I'm fellin' it good.
Ain't no foolin' around.
I've been misunderstood, but I know what I'm talkin' 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.
12.Reminisce For A While
Written：Neil Diamond／Raul Malo
Vocal：Neil Diamond／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 through,
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 beens' to keep you warm when I was gone,
I never knew that near to 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.
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.
13.Kentucky Woman
Lyrics：Neil Diamond
Music：Neil Diamond
Kentucky woman
She shines with her own kind of light
She'd look 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
Makes heads turn at the drop of her name
But something inside
That she's got turn you on just the same
And she loves me
God knows, she loves me
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 my feet
A gentle touch
From that one girl, and life is
Sweet and good
Ain't no doubt
I'm talkin' about
Kentucky woman
If she get to know you
She goin' to own you
Kentucky woman
14.If I Lost My Way
Lyrics：Neil Diamond／Gary Burr
Music：Neil Diamond／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 the 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 reason.
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 reason.
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.

15.Everybody
Written：Neil Diamond／Jesse Diamond
Ev'rybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in.
Ev'rybody's the same around the world.
If you wanna find someone, then you only have to show it.
Nothin's sadder than love that's left unheard.
Me, how I tried to deny that it pointed to you.
Too many roads up ahead lookin' shiny and new.
Ev'rybody needs someone, but it's gotta mean something.
Giving up a piece of you's the hardest part.
If you wanna have someone, then you really got to 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 you and I leads me right to the truth.
Some people always got something they 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've been nowhere.
Bein' here all alone's a lonely sound.
Ev'rybody needs someone that they're gonna believe in.
Ev'rybody's the same around the world.
16.Talking Optimist Blues(Good Day Today)
Written：Neil Diamond／Gretchen Peters
I got worries by the ton; gettin' cancer's only one.
Overtaxed and alimonied, tired of eatin' fried baloney.
I got burdens on my shoulders, dying young or growin' older.
There's some brain cells I'm missin',
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 mistakes and former lives.
Bank account is overdrawn,
out of Prozac, hairline's gone.
Hearing voices in my head;
say I should've stayed in bed.
Dog 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.
Girl-friend stole my V.C.R.
Letter came from Sixty Minutes;
say they wanna put me in it.
Tell me my career just died.
Years ago I might've cried.
Now I'm just too old to do it.
May be 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.
17.Open Wide These Prison Doors
Written：Neil Diamond／Stewart Harris
Tied by love to you, but I was tied too strong.
Still, I'm afraid of knowin' what leavin' means.
I know I lived for you in all I tried to do.
You were the keeper of my dreams.
Open wide these prison doors.
Take these chains from 'round my heart.
Make believe that I'm no more.
Pay no 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 'round my heart.
Make believe that I'm no more.
Pay no 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.
Time is always moving while we're here standing still.
I'll love you even though I'm leaving.
And maybe I always will.
Open wide these prison doors.
Take these chains from 'round my heart.
Make believe that I'm no more.
Pay no 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. Set me free. Set me free.
18.Blue Highway
Written：Neil Diamond／Harlan Howard
Vocal：Neil Diamond／Chet Atkins
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 rollin' 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 but paid for ev'ry day.
And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I've 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, rollin' down that blue highway.
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I've 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, rollin' down that blue highway.
I'll be rollin' down that blue highway.
You can find me on that blue highway.
