If You Know What I Mean

If You Know What I Mean

-Neil Diamond

When the night returns just like a friend

When the evening comes to set me free

When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day make

Peaceful sounds in me

Took a drag from my last cigarette

Took a drink from a glass of old wine

Closed my eyes and I could make it real and

Feel it one more time

Can your hear it babe?

Can your hear it babe?

From another time. From another place.

Do you remember it babe?

And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away for the sake of a dream

In a penny arcade

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean babe

And here's to the songs we used to sing

And here's to the times we used to know

It's hard to hold them in our arms again but

Hard to let them go

Do you hear it babe?

Do you hear it babe?

It was another time. It was another place.

Do you remember it babe?

And the radio played like a carnival tune

As we lay in our bed in the other room

When we gave it away for the sake of a dream

In a penny arcade.

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean

If you know what I mean......
