Lyrics Neil Diamond – If I Don’t See You Again

If I don’t see you again
It was a hell of a ride
Don’t need to say let’s be friends
Don’t need to promise you’ll write

If I don’t see you again
We ran a whole other race
Two strangers meet on the road
And find their time and their place
We never once had to lie
We’d passed the age of consent
If I don’t see you again

I know it’s crazy out there
I hated sleeping around
I went out looking for love
And never liked what I found
Don’t pay to make it alone
God knows it’s lonely out there
I made it once on my own
And hardly anyone cared
If I don’t see you again

Who you gonna run to baby
Who you gonna hide behind when the nights
Get suddenly cold
Who’s gonna hold you
Who’s gonna know
Who will you go to

Who you gonna call if it ain’t me

If I don’t see you again
You made it happen somehow
I think I gave up on life
But I feel better right now
Something you said turned me round
Don’t even know what you meant
If I don’t see you again

And at the end of the day
I hated sleeping alone
There’s nothing worse when you’re lost
And you don’t wanna go home
It’s gonna work out some way
I just don’t wanna be found
I’m waiting here round the bay
And I’ll be hanging around
If I don’t see you again

Who am I kidding I’m going nowhere
I can’t even get through an hour without you
Should be ashamed
Just wanna hear you
Calling my name

Two of us missed connections
Guess we must have somehow missed something more
Cause we’re here alone
I know we’re together
But too far apart
To know how to get back home

Each time we’re saying goodbye
Cause if I stayed for too long
You’d get to know me too well
And find that something is wrong

The time if perfect to go
Before the curtain descends
Right now when both of us know
That everything has got to end
If I don’t see you again

What’s it gonna come to baby
Who you gonna hide behind when the nights
Get filled up with doom
Looking to run
You run out of room

And will you be the one to save me
Doesn’t look like the future is clear
And need you to hear me
Playing in tune
When nobody hears me
I end up playing to the moon

It’s time for saying goodbye
Cause if I stayed for too long
You get to know me too well
And find that something was wrong

The time is perfect to go
Before the curtain descends
Right now when both of us know
That everything’s got to end
If I don’t see you again

If I don’t see you again
Somehow we both made it through
I would have gave up on life
Before I gave up on you
You went and turned me around
Could be with something you said
I couldn’t make out the sound
I didn’t care what it meant
If I don’t see you again
If I don’t see you again
If I don’t see you again
