Prelude In E Major

I think this is the greatest diamond song of all. If this don't touch you nothing will.

MORNINGSIDE

Written by Neil Diamond

Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away
And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands, he carved these words inside
'For my childen'

Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
'For my children'

And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children that sat around his table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah, and that was good

Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a children would claim
the gift he had
The words he carved
became his epitaph
'For my children'

Neil Diamond is a God... he helped to save my life when I was hit by a drunk driver and my family and friends played him for me when I was in a coma.

Il n'y a pas un jour qui passe sans que j'écoute cette merveilleuse chanson interprétée par Neil Diamond qui a une voix incomparable. Merci pour ce moment de douceur.

This is a song for my father - for what I never told him - for what he never told me .

He was a carpenter but did not share those skills with me because ' he wanted something better for me. ' . Well, I did 'better' .... if that is the measure or criteria of success.

But I really only wanted you Dad

May not be one of the best known songs, but in my heart one of his best. Touches the heart and soul. Thanks for the song.
