Neil Diamons- All I Really Need Is You (LYRICS)

Neil Diamonds song All I Really Need Is You off the album Lovescape (1991) I OWN NO RIGHTS TO THIS SONG!

(Lyrics)

After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here's what I conclude
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All I really need is you

How was I to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied your life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks for me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it's true
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so
Cause all I really need is you

I am a HUGE fan of Neil Diamond & his voice is unique. His record in the music business is undisputable. However, I don't remember this song at all & can see why it was never a hit for Neil. When I listen to this version & Cook's version, I see Cook brought something more, more passion & feeling. I wanted to cry with Cook's version & it evoked more emotion from me. This doesn't take away from Neil's version or his incredible career & he's still going. Cook gave me goosebumps.

I have a special bond with Neil. He's my Dad's lifes soundtrack. I grew up bouncing to his songs in my crib. I think of Neil as the musical bond between Dad and me. Even I have to admit, Cook did a masterful reinterpreting of the original sentiments of this truly beuatiful song.

good song - but spelling - tut tut - diamons dont shine - but diamonds do lol

[LaFarfalla246]

Beautiful lyrics.

[terestoye]

Lovely romantic lyrics if you listen through Neil's song completely. David Cook sang it a little more up tempo to complete his allotted time ( 1 1/2 minutes) so we did not hear the third stanza of this song. Instead David poured magnetism and passion in that short segment to capture the voters' attention out there in television kingdom. I play this all the time.

I love anything sung by him. I would like to see pictures of his children. He had two daughters by first wife, then two sons by his second wife. I wonder if any of them have his beautiful eyes.

@garamond888 Just saw your comment. There never was a studio version :(  We were cheated big time.

[garamond888]

I really want to listen to the studio version of David Cook's version of this song.

[FrAnCiSaNdi]

NICE SONG and also David Cook's version is so much GOOOD!!!!

[phuisanlai]

Neil is great! But when David Cook did this song on idol...i was like WOWed! He really did a cool & 'modern' version of this lovely song! Yeah, no wonder Neil was so proud of David Cook!
