Neil Diamond - September Morn (1979) by Neil Diamond (보컬) on maniadb.com

Stay for just a while
Stay, and let me look at you
It's been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only wanna talk to you
We've traveled halfway 'round the world
To find ourselves again
September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way

Look at what you've done
Why, you've become a grown-up girl
I still can hear you crying
In a corner of your room
And look how far we've come
So far from where we used to be
But not so far that we've forgotten
How it was before

September morn
Do you remember how we danced that night away
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way


1979 Stonebridge Music (ASCAP)

I'm singing this song for the men in your prisons and jails
The junkies and juicers and every good man that fails
And for every outlaw who's got no place left to go

The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you
The good Lord, he loves you so

And I'm singing this song for the leaders of every land
For every political and every military man
And for every mother and child in their kingdoms below

The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you
The good Lord, he loves you so
Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

I'm singing this song with the feeling that's deep in my heart
And I wish I could tear down the walls that keep us apart
I wish I could tear down the walls so the feelings can grow

The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you
The good Lord, he loves you so

The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you
The good Lord loves you

The good Lord, he loves you so
Ain't it sad that we're doing so bad

(Are you ready to let it happen to you tonight?
Oh, yes ... do it, man ... here we go)

Calling out, 'round the world
Ready for a brand of beat
We're all here, time is right
Dancing in the street
There out in Chicago
New York city

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and swayin'
Records playing
Dancing in the street

Doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Come on, come on, now
Every guy grab a girl
Oh, everywhere around the world

Let it, Dancing in the street, Dancing
Dancing in the street, Dancing

Invitation, across the nation
Chance, folks want to meet
There'll be laughing, singing
Music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philedelphia, PA
Baltimore and DC, now

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and swayin'
Records playing
Dancing in the street

(all right girls, do it to me, here we go)

In this cold world
No matter where I go
The crowds are all the same

To them I'm just
A pebble in the sand
A face without a name

Nobody gives a hang
For what I say or do
But you
And in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there

In this cold world
You struggle to survive
And sometimes you can fall

You'd think someone
Would lend a helping hand
They'd sooner see you crawl

But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again

Just give me one good reason
To go on living
To keep on trying
For what, I ask you for what
If not for you
And all your love
To see me through

But just when life itself
Seems more than I can bear
You're there
And in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and safety and then
I rise and start again

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a given / givin' thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I coundn't leave her if I tried

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

It was Stagger Lee and Billy
Two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw a seven
Billy swore, he threw an eight
Stagger Lee told "Billy,
I can't let you get away with that
Well, you've won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat"

Stagger Lee ran home
Went and got him his 44
Said, "I'm going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Said, "I' m going to the bar room
Just to pay that debt that I owe"

Stagger Lee went to the bar room
Boy, he stood across the bar room floor
Said, "now, nobody move"
And he pulled out his 44

"Stagger Lee", cried Billy
"Oh, please don't you take my life
I got me three little children
And a very sickly wife"

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
"got me three little children
And a very, very sickly wife"

Stagger Lee shot Billy
Boy, he shot that poor boy so bad
That the bullet came thru Billy
And went right thru the bartender's glass

While I was standing on the corner
When I heard my bulldog bark
He was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee
Well, he was barking up at the two men
Who were gambling in the dark
