💎NEIL DIAMOND ~ THE STORY OF MY LIFE

DEDICATED TO NEIL AND HIS BEAUTIFUL AND LOVING WIFE, KATIE.

“I always thought that this would make a good title for an autobiography, but as a songwriter, I was drawn to try it as a song and save all the work involved in writing a book. Well, I learned that a song is one thing and a book is another. I guess I’ll have to write the book now.” - ND

THE STORY OF MY LIFE (1986 - Age: 45)
NEIL DIAMOND
Album: Headed For The Future

The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave

The story of my life
Begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth

I was alone
You found me waiting
And made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be
The man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life,
And every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
And never letting go
And if I die today,
I wanted you to know

Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began
I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write

The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

This is a beautiful video, more than merely offering up a lovely song, it is a narrative on Neil's life, and despite his recent devastating health news, a homage to the power of love. It appears Neil has found that someone who he has spent a lifetime searching for, and that something that he speaks so eloquently about in his songs. The images are equally beautiful. You haven't just created a wonderful new video, you have opened a window on Neil and Katie's life together, captured so wonderfully via this most touching song. Thank you Doug.

My favorite Neil Diamond song. This song makes me tear up every time.

This guy writes great music that has to come from his soul. I’ve been a fan for over 50 years, almost feel like I grew up with him.

I have loved Neil Diamond all my life. I first saw him perform in 1968, when we were both so young. He was just a young man performing his early hits at a winter carnival in Antigonish, Nova Scotia at St. Francis Xavier University, and he WOWED us all back then so much ! He became a huge star over the years with his music and his beautiful poetry. I became a school teacher and a local radio deejay (part time) and played his songs for over 48 years at the local radio station and dances. I had the privilege of seeing him perform again LIVE in Ottawa, Canada in 2002 (34 years later) at the Correl Centre, and he was still as awesome as ever...even better than the first time I heard him. I have collected some of his video concerts over the years and watch them often. He is the MASTER of music, lyrics, and poetry, and his songs will live forever ! He has touched my life deeply and I thank him for his music, his wonderful gift to all of us ! We are lucky and blessed to have had Neil Diamond in our lives !

A Perfect Match, They Look So Happy, May They Have A Long Life Together...

I remember in the 70's somebody suggested I was very boring listening to Neil Diamond. 50 years later his songs still played and appreciated around the world. Think I have the last laugh and glad to be boring to appreciate his talent.

Neil Diamonds voice and music holds a very special place in my heart. We lost my Father to Cancer. Neils music was played at the funeral. All of my childhood we played his music. I hold it so dear. We went to the last tour sadly without our Father, but we enjoyed each and every song. Such a talented Artist. Beautiful song too. Thanks for the upload.
