He Wrote he wrote, once, for me a song, a lyric a melody he wrote once, then came to sing voice to ring inspiring he came and wrote a song for me lithesome, lovesome melody brought my sigh right along such was tender harmony made me feel as if I belonged so how can this bliss be remiss not, say I not at all and in his song the fever assails lifts me high and I sail I sail on sigh on high tonight to heaven ~*~ 28 December 2000 Some decades ago a friend said "Neil Diamond wrote a song for you!" She was so excited, for she had misunderstood the lyrics to "Sweet Caroline" and thought that Neil had sung "Sweet Karilea"... At the time, I found it charming... today... I remember it with warm smiles. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (12-09-2002 05:49 PM).] |

Karilea I have taken songs as mine, without someone telling me they were, just because they fit so well. I'm sure Neil would be pleased. |

Ahhh..and I thought he was singing, "Sweet Nancy Lee"...LOL. Actually all my family sings.. "Alone again...Nancy Lee" when they hear that song.."Alone again, naturally". This is so cute..I will always think of you when I hear this song now. ~Hugs~  ~ Life is too short not to believe in Santa Claus ~ |

Since I was a young girl I have loved listening to Neil Diamond. His music is timeless. His song I am I said.......I love it. The line "I am I said to no one there, and no one heard at all.....not even the chair"..... Loved it as much as I love this. Smile lady......always.....that brite smile of yours!

I think he did write for you, maybe not the words but the theme is there, and you have responded so lovingly. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Your words glide down the page like a soft rose petals. Very pretty. And perhaps we all misunderstood Neil Diamond. Maybe he did say, "Sweet Karilea". I mean, how appropiate!  Sunkissed. |
