This time holds distance, could it have been that long since I have heard Neil singing yesterdays song? “I am I said to no one there” floats on air “and no one heard at all not even the chair.” Swept away moments now frozen from the past sweet treasures like these, timeless, through decades last. Time tick tocks, slow rocking, while slipping away. Melodic spell, in capture of yesterday. Slip sliding in thought to the days of my youth so carefree were moments spent searching for truth. Silent refrains, in shadows, play on the wall this tug, that pull of emotions, such soft recall. Precious are these moments, so treasured, so few wrapping me in the sweetness of memory hues. note: {"from I Am I Said, Neil Diamond"} |

Ah, Little One...now you're talking about one of my very favorite artists when it comes to song writing, singing, just...being! Someday, do yourself a favor [because age is only making ND better...] and get his Tennessee Moon CD. On it, listen closely to "Everybody" and this particular line... "...may I get lost in your eyes for a lifetime or two..." Magic! |
