Neil Diamond

"Ah, to be so exciting Wont need bright lights No, no we wont Gonna make our own lighting She got the way to move me, Cherry"

"Song sung blue, everybody knows one. Song sung blue, every garden grows one.Me and you are subject to The blues now and then. But when you take the blues And make a song, You sing em out again."

"Ive seen the light And Ive seen the flame. And Ive been this way before, And Im sure to be this way again.For Ive been refused, And Ive been regained, And Ive seen your eyes before, And Im sure to see your eyes again. Once again.For Ive been released, And Ive been regained, And Ive sung my song before, And Im sure to sing my song again. Once again."

"Red, red wine Go to my head. Make me forget that I Still need her so.Red, red wine, Its up to you. All I can do, Ive done. But memories wont go. No, memories wont go."

"And heres to the songs we used to sing; And heres to the times we used to know. Its hard to hold them in our arms again, But hard to let them go."

"Desiree, Oh, Desiree. There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song. Time was right, the night was long.Remember Desiree, Oh, Desiree. And though somehow I knew I could only have you til the morning light, The night was long, the time was right."

"I actually wanted to go to medical school. I actually wanted to be a laboratory biologist. I wanted to study. And I really wanted to find a cure for cancer. My grandmother had died of cancer. And I was always very good at the sciences. And I thought I would go and try and discover the cure for cancer."

"Says she loves me Yes, yes she does Gonna show me tonight, yeah She got the way to move me, Cherry"

"Im a perfectionist. I like to get it right. I like to get it good. And you know, writing songs is not -- its not the kind of thing that you can count on every day. You never know whats going to come or if its going to come. So you -- you know, its an uncertain kind of a thing."

"A thing called "Cherry Cherry", was my first big national hit. It was a top five record. And international, as well. And you know, thats what broke the dam. … Boom, as soon as that record hit, I was out on the road. And Ive been out on the road… since then. … I didnt realize it at first, but I did want to perform. I liked it. It was fun. You know, I went through all of the growth experiences that you go through in any field. But I did like it. And you know, Ive been doing it since."

"Dont know that I will, But until I can find me The girl wholl stay And wont play games behind me, Ill be what I am: A solitary man, solitary man."

"Dry your eyes and take your song out. Its a newborn afternoon. And if you cant recall the singer, You can still recall the tune.Dry your eyes and play it slowly, Like youre marching off to war. Sing it like you know hed want it, Like we sang it once before."
