Neil Diamond - One More Bite Of The Apple (2008)

Lyrics:
Been away from you for much too long
Been away but now I’m back where I belong
Believed while I was gone away
That I’d do just fine
But I couldn’t get the music off my mind
And I couldn’t leave the needing you behind.
Free the word from the page.
Free the bird from the cage.
Just go out there and face what you did before,
Did it once, you can do it once more.
Yeah
Comin’ back for one more bite of the apple.
Taste is sweet.
It’s the nectar of life,
And you know that it’s right
‘Cause you know you’re not out there alone.
And that one more bite of the apple
Is all you’re gonna need to bring it home.
I couldn’t count the chances that I’ve lost
Couldn’t count the chances or the cost.
But I can’t help thinkin’ ’bout the days of way back when,
And I know I wanna taste them once again.
Yes I know I wanna taste them once again.
Got some things to be said.
Goin’ ’round in my head.
Time to get out of bed
‘Cause I’ve slept too long,
And I know there’s a place I belong
Yeah
Comin’ back for one more bite of the apple.
Taste is sweet.
It’s the nectar of life,
And you know that it’s right
‘Cause you know you’re not out there alone
And that one more bite of the apple
Is all you’re gonna need to bring it home.
Was a time that I won’t ever forget.
They were times that I will never regret.
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout those days since way back then,
And thinkin’ I could bring them back again.
Just maybe I could bring them back again.
One more dance in the night
One more chance to get it right
One more grab at the brass ring that’s flying by
One more toast to the mud in your eye.
Yeah
Comin’ back for one more bite of the apple.
Taste is sweet.
It’s the nectar of life.
And you know that it’s right
‘Cause you know you’re not out there alone.
I’ll be back
And sittin’ up high on the saddle.
All I want
Is to do it once more.
Let me get through that door
‘Cause I still do believe that I can.
Want that one more bite of the apple
And just the chance to taste it once again.
Been around the world a time or two.
Everywhere I’ve been I’ve thought of me and you.
I was hopin’ you’d remember how it used to be
And maybe that you’d still remember me,
And that apple just as sweet as it could be.
Reach right up and pick one off of that apple tree.

‘2008’ - the ‘Home Before Dark’ album. His greatest self-same , album-titled track; closely followed by ‘ I’m Glad Your’re Here With Me Tonight’ from 1977. Your comment was made ‘Fifteen Years’ ago -at about the time (or soon after?) of the release of …’ Home Before Dark’; it was the number one album in both The U.K., and the states on release - how did you miss that, I have to wonder?..
