First time I heard this song, I wept. Neil Diamond sings here what it's like to be older and wiser--and still holding out for real love rather than "settling." Only an older man can sing this song with credibility and this kind of depth. Thank you, Neil.
@dcgreek Neil Diamond was first introduced to me by my wife, her name is Mary. At that time Sweet Caroline was the hit and I have always thought of that as our song, until now. She sent me this link and I now consider it our song after 39 years of marriage. She has been with me throuhout the cold war when I would travel abroad by myself.
@RomanDeacon My story is much like yours. Hubby introduced me to Neil back in the early 70's. We go to every concert when Neil comes to town. The man never lets us down. He is an awesome talent and we LOVE him. We're all growing old together, my Dennis, Neil and myself. Life is good!!!!

If you enjoy Neil Diamond try his version of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Hot August Night 2 (1987). Compare with Susan Boyle and all the others. Also, check out the change in lyrics. Video link posted above.
Oh Mary my Mary Oh Mary, I love you so. Mary Im loveing you so! Im not looking I've found you and Im not ever leaving you. Oh Mary I'm talkin bout you. I love you
I've loved Neil Diamond for years, but when I heard Hell Yeah, and it actually made me cry... great album, one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Lovely song! Almost every song on that album is gold. Evermore is another one I like very much. His latest album Home before dark is maybe even better. May he live forever!
Wonderful song, great artist! Why is it that Neil Diamond and Elvis and Jonnhy Cash are still so underrated? These man have a huge talen to to comunicate! Just listen without prejudice and spread the word ...Neil is still great!
I love this man so much...and I love this song. For my beloved wee little sister Mary. Love you more than anything. Could not imagine this world without my mary.
When I first heard "Oh, Mary" a few months ago it brought to mind the mystical quality of Neil's "Lady Magdalene" from the 70's and I wondered if there was some type of connection between the two songs. Just a thought to throw out. Thanks so much for posting this more recent song of Neil's.
I am Mary! Yay!
