The Gift of Song

Neil Diamond

Songs to make you free
And songs to take you to another time
Forgotten reasons that are made of rhyme

For you and me
The songs of life
That somehow make us free
Songs to fill the heart
Like quiet candles on a winter's night
They touch the space that lies between you and I

And I will sing
The songs of love
That speak to you and me
Then wake the sleeping child
And let me sing to you of other times
And let me make your dreams as sweet as mine

For I will bring
The gift of song
That only makes us free
