Thank God For The Radio.

Thank God For The Radio.

On the wrong end of the highway,
When a long night has no end,
When there’s no one there beside me,
Till I hold you once again.
Thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
An’ feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
There’s a song, that we first danced to,
And there’s a song, they played the night we met,
And there’s a song, we first made love to,
That’s a song, I’ll never forget.
So, thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
And feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Thank God for the radio,
When I’m on the road,
When I’m far from home,
And feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio,
Playin’ all night long,
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
To me and you.
Thank God for the radio.

New Year’s Day.

New Year’s Day.

New Year’s Day.

The midnight bells are ringing,
A ship is setting sail,
A newborn baby’s crying,
As lovers say farewell.
I’m singing hallelujah,
Amen, the angels say,
Let’s hope tomorrow finds us,
It’s New Year’s Day.
Let’s toast to new beginnings okay,
Raise up a glass and say,
For all of our tomorrows,
And what was yesterday, (come on),
I’m singing carpe diem,
I’m saying seize the day,
Come on, let’s live forever,
It’s New Year’s Day.
Where does the time go,
Just watch the wind blow,
Sha la la la,
It’s New Year’s Day.
Green does the grass grow,
Outside my window,
Sha la la la,
It’s New Year’s Day.
This message in a bottle,
The wisdom of the wine,
It’s just a rainy Monday,
This isn’t Auld Lang Syne.
I’m singing hallelujah,
Amen, the angels say,
Let’s hope tomorrow finds us,
It’s New Year’s Day.

Christmas Prayers.

Lyrics and Vocals: American singer-songwriter Neil Leslie Diamond (Neil Diamond).

In “Christmas Prayers,” Neil Diamond sings with a quiet tenderness that mixes grief and comfort. He’s holding a loved one close in memory, even as the season highlights that vacant chair, and he turns that same ache into something gentle and perhaps more sustaining.

Christmas Prayers.

Christmas Prayers.

You’re in my Christmas prayers,
And in my Christmas dreams.
In every Christmas story told,
And every song I sing,
In every song I sing.
When I hear people laugh,
And I see children play,
Reminds me of that photograph,
Of us on Christmas Day,
It’s us on Christmas Day.
I see you standing there,
And smiling down on me.
As I untie the gifts that lie,
Beneath our Christmas tree.
And every Christmas day,
I know I’ll find you there.
You’ll always be the answer to,
My every Christmas prayer,
My every Christmas prayer.
Grandmas, grandpas, fathers, mothers,
Friends I’ve loved dear,
Sisters, brothers, sons and daughters I once played with,
Aunts and uncles I once stayed with.
Their story will be told,
As long as love recalls.
Those loved ones smiling down on me,
The greatest gift of all,
The greatest gift of all.
The loved ones far and near,
Will be forever there.
It’s Christmas up in Heaven too,
With love beyond compare,
With love beyond compare.
Don’t have to read the book of life,
Behind the veil of tears,
You’ll always be right here with me,
And in my Christmas prayers.
You’re in my Christmas prayers.
