Neil Diamond - The Story Of My Life (w/lyrics)

[@jankirschke7425]

I could play this for my 98 year old mother but it would make her heart break even more. She has some dementia now, and although Dad still lives with her, she sees him as “some nice man” who comes over to take care of her. As I was snuggling with her one night before she went to sleep, she was crying and wondering why Bill, the man she has loved for 70 years, left without saying goodbye.

[@sallyal5266]

Omg! Your poor mother, I'm so sorry for her ... Your poor dad too, that must be so very hard for him 😢please take care of yourself, try to make new memories with both your parents, how very lovely that you still have them both in your life 🤗💕

[@ninjackunited6609]

WOW...DAMN...I.M SO SORRY 😞.

[@jankirschke7425]

@@ninjackunited6609 Thank You! It’s hard to put into words the thankfulness we all have for our dad who takes care of our mother so well. Since I wrote my previous comment, they have transferred to an assisted living facility. Dad broke his back during a fall last October, yet he puts aside his own pain to make sure that Mama has everything she needs. Dementia doesn’t get better. Our whole family: their four children, fifteen grandchildren and many great grandchildren have an overwhelming sense gratitude for what he has taught us all these years without saying a word.

[@ninjackunited6609]

@jankirschke7425 blessings to you and your family from the Caribbean...I pray it will get easier for you all to deal with..nuff love and respect 🙏

[@anakina1]

Stay strong and have empathy for her as I am sure you do. It isn't her fault and your father sounds like a rock of a man we should all strive to be. Bless you all.

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

The lyrics to this song composed by Neil are so emotional and passionate that they bring me to tears. I think of my dear husband, the light of my life, who died nine years ago. When I met him my life “started the day he came” and “ended the day he left”. I just miss him so. These lyrics composed by Neil are poetic. He is just a brilliant composer, a fine vocalist and performer. 😊👍☺️

[@carolinepastrana8457]

i really love this beautiful song

This is the most favourite song of my husband often listened..........I've lost him just two months ago.......my life also Started when he came and Ended with him on the day he left for heaven..........my life has been shattered and from that very day I am listening this song every night and my tears did not stop running........how much he loved me oh god !!!!!! He believed every word of this song and Neil Diamond is his one of the most favourite singer........keep listening to this song in heaven ....also....my love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so that you can come back very soon to me and care for me ,hug me ,kiss me with shivering and quivering inside ........your story book is still open.....please Come back and write my name again .and again........your love is still waiting awake ...........sleep in peace ,rest in peace with my ENDLESS LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

This is just the most beautiful, passionate song that Neil composed and sings. Yes, it is the ‘story of my life’ also. I just fill up and the tears come as I listen. If you have or have had a great love, the lyrics describe it. Thank you Neil. What a poet, what a lyricist you are. 🥰👍☺️

This is a most beautiful song. I had a love back in the late '60's..yes I am that old now ( age does not matter ). We parted and went our separate ways.. After searching for many years we found each other in 2018.. and it was the beginning of the story of our life all over again. It will never end even when we both die.. Here's to you my Handsome friend..

This song was played at the Winter Olympics in 1984. It was the year of the two skaters, both named Brian. The skater from Canada skated to this song in honor of his Mom. I loved it then and still love it today. Neil's gift of words and melodies are in a class of their own. He is a true genius with words and melodies..💕🎸

[@charitymitchell1976]

My parents: Robert and Debbie Mitchell loved this song. My dad was dying with Melanoma in the hospital, and he played this song for my mother. She was never sure if he deeply loved her until he played this song for her. They were married 17 years. He was 40 years old when he died. My mother has never remarried, more than 25 years later....

[@ericasimpson8584]

It’s one of those days where I’m playing all of my mommas favorite stories from Neil. Yesterday marked the 8 month from when she left me. I am still devastated. I wish God would just give her back to me. I don’t know this world without her. I would give my life for hers. She is missing so much of her bucket list.

[@vaskarmitra3491]

Love for music in my life started the day I heard Neil for the first time 43 yrs ago. The song was 'Play me' , sitting in the Captain's room in a Indian Navy ship, over a glass of whisky. You are the sun. I am the moon. You are the words. I sm the tune. Play me. Incredible song writing! The album was 'Hot August Night' recorded in a live concert at the Greek Theatre Los Angeles, California in 1972. Today I possess almost all his albums including his live performances, as a lifetime treasure. I feel immensely happy and proud. He has the voice of God, and I adore him.

[@markditzenberger3008]

My Dad loved that song, if it was playing, and he heard it, he would stop and pause, raise his arms and sing the chorus "you are the sun, I am the moon...."

[@harleywhitlock5082]

This ballad is simply 'steeped with emotion, passion, and poignant memories.' What a gift to those of a sensitive mind and heart...

So many beautiful songs makes it super hard to pick a favorite. I have many. 1) To all the girls I loved before 2) If you go away 3) Morningside.....makes me tear up. My Dad died Oct, 1971 @ 59 yrs old. I was 25 yrs old.He also built a beautiful kitchen table for his children. And, when he was in the hospital, we never expected him to die, but he did die "All alone". 4) Play Me On & On. Neil please do just one more small tour. Your fans adore you.

[@CoreaKixx420]

It's no wonder that Neil has been considered one of the greatest live performers for 50+ years now. He delivers that same passion in concert, as though he is singing just for you. Saw him and his extraordinary band in Toronto back in '87. Still one of the best live shows I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot of the major superstars.

[@debfry7605]

How apropos. My husband always loved Neil Diamond's music and I found this song quite by accident. I buried my husband last week. We married, after knowing each other for 5 weeks, and celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary earlier this year (before he passed). This truly could be the story of my life and somehow it just doesn't seem right that I am left here without him. It wasn't suppose to be that way. . .

[@ludyresuelo-knight7887]

This song is the story of my husbands life..when i came into his life. We both cried listening of this song. Right now he is in Newzealand for a very important mission and first time we are physically separated..it is so devastating since 24/7 we are always together..doing things..my soulmate and my best friendwonderful song.

[@KimSenior]

I searched for years trying to find this song after hearing it on the radio. How I found it was a miracle, I was in Waterstones bookstore when a book fell off the shelf. I picked it up and found it was a book of artists and their albums. There it was on his album "Headed For The Future." This album at that time was unavailable, I continued my search and eventually got a 6 CD book which included this wonderful song. I didn't have the internet then, neither was KZbin around. Love the song, along with many other songs of his.

Just by the way, The song Story of my life which has long been a favourite of mine, around the tome that record was made there was another that i used to twin with Neil Diamonds as they were in my opinion in a league of there own...

Interesting, but perplexing that lovely ballads like this or "All I Really Need Is You" were never released as singles [or didn't catch on], whereas 'meaningless trite' like "Song Sung Blue" and "Sweet Caroline" became top sellers. Such is unfathomable to me. "The Story Of My Life" is a powerful and touching ballad, sung with incredible eloquence, emotion and grace. I'm happy that I encountered this wonderful song, solely by chance, recently.
