You wafted in on transistor radio close to my ear, I heard you over the whine whispering Cherry, Cherry in my ear and later singing Red, Red Wine. All of my friends were excited when you sang Sweet Caroline on the radio because if one didn’t catch it all it sounded like my name, you know. And when you came out with Holly Holy I thought it was for me solely. Then I wanted to travel along when Brother Love broke out in song. Cracklin’ Rosie was a mystery to me but I liked the lyrics anyway. And when the early 70’s came on by I Am I Said put a beam in my eye. I stumbled through life then, my story is true and then you came out with Song Sung Blue, and I thought I could make it through. Because every garden has one. But soon my life reverberated with You Don’t Bring Me Flowers and it was as if it illustrated all of my life that had gone sour. Love on the Rocks held me for awhile Hello Again brought back my smile. Then I met a wonderful man who made a Beautiful Noise and tho not a Kentucky Woman, I gained some poise. Surviving the Life swept me along and I Thank the Lord for the Night Time for my man can Walk on Water and I’ll keep Longfellow Serenade as mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Neil Diamond, and all of the songs he shared with the World. < !signature--> Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-19-2000).] |

Sunshine, thank you for that post. I'd forgotten some of those. It was lovely. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Neil Diamond has always been one of my favorites for that special mood and thanks to your words I do believe that this moment is 100% perfect for me to take a break from poetry and go sit and listen under the stars. A perfect ten in style, presentation, and heart. You shine so well my friend. |

Wonderful Karilea! Another of my favorites also!!! Excellent weave of the titles, really well done. I think "I Am, I Said" is my favorite ... I have that one on an old 45 (showing my age now)!  Best wishes, /Kit |
