IF I DONâT SEE YOU AGAIN â Neil Diamond
This is the first time I ve ever been able to figure out a song on my own
and actually post it. Yes I know it s a simple song, but this is really
exciting for me. Let me know if it s any good.
If I donât see you again
It was a hell of a ride
Donât need to say lets be friends
Donât need to promise youâll write
We rode that train through the night
And never cared where it went
If I donât see you again
If I donât see you again
We ran a whole other race
Two strangers meet on the road
And find their time and their place
We never once had to lie
Weâd passed the age of consent
If I donât see you again
I know its crazy out there
I hated sleeping around
I went out looking for love
And never liked what I found
Donât pay to make it alone
God knows itâs lonely out there
I made it once on my own
And hardly anyone cared
If I donât see you again
Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind
When the nights get suddenly cold
Whoâs gonna hold you whoâs gonna know
Who will you go to?
Who you gonna call if it ainât me
When your feeling lost and thereâs nobody out there
Looking for you
What will you do?
Where will you go?
If I donât see you again
If I donât see you again
You made it happen somehow
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
Something you said turned me round
Donât even know what you meant
If I donât see you again
And at the end of the day
I hated sleeping alone
Thereâs nothing worse when youâre lost
And you donât wanna go home
Its gonna work out some way
I just donât wanna be found
Iâm waiting here round the bend
And Iâll be hanging around
If I donât see you again
Who am I kidding Iâm going nowhere
I canât even get through an hour
Without you should be ashamed
Just wanna hear you calling my name
Two of us missed connections
Guess we must have somehow
Missed something more
Cos weâre here alone
I know weâre together but too far apart
To know how to get back home
Its time for saying goodbye
Cos if I stay for too long
Youâd get to know me too well
And find that something was wrong
The time is perfect to go
Before the curtain descends
Right now when both of us know
That everythingâs got to end
If I donât see you again
Whatâs it gonna come too baby
Who you gonna hide behind
When the nights get filled up with doom
Looking to run
You run out of room
And will you be the one to save me
Doesnât look like the future is clearing
Need you to hear me playing a tune
When nobody hears me
I end up playing to the moon
Its time for saying goodbye
Cos if I stay for too long
Youâd get to know me too well
And find that something was wrong
The time is perfect to go
Before the curtain descends
Right now when both of us know
That everythingâs got to end
If I donât see you again
If I donât see you again
Somehow we both made it through
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
You went and turned me around
Could be was something you said
I couldnât make out the sound
I didnât care what it meant
If I donât see you again
If I donât see you again
If I donât see you again
