1976 NEIL DIAMOND Beautiful Noise backside

Colourful song titles on the back side of the 1976 NEIL DIAMOND album "Beautiful Noise"

 

"... The songs in the album are made up of people, places and events from a period which some have called a renaissance of the American spirit, others, the beginnings of a new age of decadence..." (words by ND)

If You Know What I Mean

Music & lyrics by Neil Diamond 1976

----------------------------------------------------------

When the night returns just like a friend

When the evening comes to set me free

When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day

Make peaceful sounds in me

 

Took a drag from my last cigarette

Took a drink from a glass of old wine

Closed my eyes and I could make it real

And feel it one more time

 

Can you hear it, babe

Can you hear it, babe

From another time

From another place

Do you remember it, babe

 

And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away for the sake of a dream

In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

If you know what I mean, baby

 

And here's to the song we used to sing

And here's to the times we used to know

It's hard to hold them in our arms again

But hard to let them go

 

Do you hear it, babe

Do you hear it, babe

It was another time

It was another place

Do you remember it, babe

 

And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away for the sake of a dream

In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

 

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean, baby

If you know what I mean
