I must be the only Jamaican Girl who loves this song so so much since the first time i heard it on the radio when i was a little girl and 30 years later still loving it, thanks Neil!
It's funny..what was written!..What do you think! Natalie Portman I realize, isn't way overloaded in the bosom catagory!...but if we had The Kingdom of I Am Music with Us!...dream...dream...we might be it's prisoner here in America!..15 trillion deficit and can't quite pay the bills...(and that's being nice in the saying of this!)..Peace on Earth.
This was my favorite song when I was 3 and 4 years old. I am turning 30 this week and because I am reliving old memories I felt the urge to hear it again. I still love it.
Sou eternamente grato a ANTENA 1, pelo gosto música que possuo graça a ela, grande tardes de verão, inverno... a ouvindo preciosidades como essa e muitas outras. Antena vc faz parte da história de minha vida... MUITO OBRIGADO.
Whilst dancing closely with a friend to this song, I fell deeply in love with him 28 years ago . But he was married, so I didn't pursue it. Life went on and took us both in different directions. But now he is mine and turns my heart light on constantly :o)
We still love this song as much as we did then :o)

@MrJonk1969 OK now Jonkster I was just posing a serious query into the meaning of this beloved song of mine and you had to go and get all personal and familiar now didn't you?I was so hurt by your demand that I clicked on your name to try and get to the bottom of your aggression.From your name alone I see that you are in your early forties and by your favorite song selections can understand your lame'O love for all things cheesy and schlock filled from your childhood days of listening to AMGOLD
@Annamandabella look, bitch. first of all, i love this song, too, and it's on my playlist. I'll b 41 next week, to b exact, and yes, i love my 70s easy-listening music, and i *do* have some AM GOLD cd's; love them. But i have many more songs to add to my playlist, and they won't all b from that genre.
So i reiterate, sit down and STFU. or better yet, get in the kitchen and bake something.
1. I am sitting down. That's how I usually use my computer. What, Do you stand at some kiosk at the local library?
2. I fail to see why you're asking me to shut up. I didn't say a word.
3. I find it thoroughly hilarious that you took the bait to begin with, was called out and had your entire existence summed up in a few succinct details. Leading you to insult a man with chauvinistic taunts.
@Annamandabella your post is nonsensical gibberish, except you're right about the homo part. And if you live long enough, believe it or not, you too will be 40 yo someday (and it comes a lot quicker than you think it will).
I want to dedicate this to my dad... I miss him tons... I hope that when I get to heaven.. he could take me on that ride across the moon... My heartlight will always shine for him... Thanks Niel for all the memories...
This song is from my childhood. I personally wasn't a big fan of the movie, but I liked this song a lot. It reminds me of my older sister who was like a mother to me. She was a little girl herself, but she would call the local radio stations back in the 80's and request this song for her little brother, me.
Yobhtron, Hope you have enjoyed your short stay in Rochester, NY. Sorry, you have to experienced the harsh winter blasts. Next pls. visit during Spring or Summer and make sure to stay longer. There is so much to see. Sorry, that I'm not there, so busy w/school in Europe.
OH DIOS Hugo sabes como te amo.... pero te gusta ignorarlo que pena, esto es lo que me ha alejado de tí, AMO esta cancion, significa tanto para mí, son recuerdos de mis años mozos en los 80's, creo que kiero regresar a vivir todo eso... ahí me sentía tan feliz y comoda... Que tristeza que un gran amor se haya convertido en esto.
BRAVO! Great little treasure to go living in the past with. Thank you for finding this gem and sharing it as there probably isn't one of better quality, so we're blessed with what we have. The vid's awesome and it takes me back so I can go on foward.
Neil Diamond is one of my beat song artist be is a legend and one of America's TOP Vocal artist ever live he will always be top on my list!!! even at his older years he still look good in fact he looks better.
The song was not part of the movie. It was written by Neil Diamond after he saw the movie, which makes it a great tribute song. Around the same time there was a movie called Romancing the Stone with Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, and Eddie Money wrote a song of the same name after he saw that movie. Those are the only two movies I know of that inspired this kind of response.
Yes, this is a great song and it is especially well-suited for chord substitution (for you jazz buffs out there). I especially like Neil's casual entrance....and he nailed it in one take! :-)
I must be the only Jamaican Girl who loves this song so so much since the first time i heard it on the radio when i was a little girl and 30 years later still loving it, thanks Neil!

Great Song!! Although I've always had a few questions:
1. How creepy is it that he saw E.T. and decided to make a song about it?
2. Who is singing to who here?? Is Neil singing to E.T. or is this from Elliotts perspective?
3. E.T. was in the basket while Elliott rode the bike, so who is going to drive the bike here?
Is Neil driving with the little boy on his lap? Is Neil in the basket?
4. Don't wake me up too soon? Is Neil the young boy dreaming?
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN THIS SONG??
