Diamond, Neil - I've Been This Way Before Lyrics






I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again

For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
And I'm sure to see your eyes again
Once again

For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Once again

Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
And some people got to make it through
By never wondering why

Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die

But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
Once again
One more time again
Just one more time

    It is such a shame Neil has to go through this horrible disease.. He’s such a wonderful man and I love his music it means a lot to mean. I-introduced Neil to my son to his music and eye still listens to him. He’s only 33 and is an Artist with an old soul

  7. B.... A....

    The word "religious" has many connotations. I only know this: Life has taught me much, and so many experiences have drawn me closer to God. I respect those who can't say it that way. Nevertheless, much of Neil Diamond's music helps me to pray. I feel that Jonathan Livingston Seagull was a religious experience for him. I don't need to prove anything about my beliefs or to convert anyone, but I do love sharing the joy of my faith with Catholic teenagers.

  8. J.... E....

    You captured the futility, the romance, the mysticism ( all in one) of human life in your video.


    I go back to it, your video only, again and again, to get spiritual grounding.


    I thank you for putting images to this wonderful song.

  39. R.... H....

    Wow, another great song, by Mr. Neil Diamond.

  40. r.... g....

    80s was my high and the lowest point. Looking back I think she deserved a better person. Some people have got to be denied by him.... so be it.

  41. B.... R....

    I played this song July 29 of this year as it broke my heart - to say goodbye to my mom as my best friend passed away - to go to heaven

  42. R.... B....

    Beautiful. Been a fan since I was 13. Back in the 70s.

    R.... B....

    Me too. Xx

  43. J.... B....

    Love all his songs

  44. S.... H....

  48. G.... B....

    Biarritz59 - excellent Video - God Bless- Neils's at his best of brst

  49. R.... M....

    Think of all the superb music created by Neil Diamond so eclectic so brilliant ....this is from his Serenade album, then you have so many other very different spectacular songs....ie Red Red Wine, Lonely Looking Sky, I Am I Said, Kentucky Woman, Sweet Caroline, Shilo, Captain Sunshine, the grass won't pay no mind, Walk on Water, Cracklin Rosie, Brother love travelling salvation show , Heart Light, Cante Libre, Beautiful Noise, Desiree, America, Juliet, Play me, solitary man etc... Brilliant

  50. P.... S....

    Beautiful.

  51. B.... P....

    So sensitive.

  52. K.... ....

    😥😥💗

  53. S.... S....

    Timeless he's a genuis let's pray a miracle happens and he can come round again just one more time

  54. l.... m....

    a manwho is like this should be must better inside if he is able to be right ,i hope for him i am so sorry about this way to be

  55. m.... ....

    Some people, got to make it through, by never wondering why.  Love this song.

  56. M.... M....

    World class piece of sound. It's goes to right department. I love it

  57. k.... ....

    Why do you worship Charles Manson

  58. S.... H....

    This is a huge song. It strikes you deep and so beautifully choreographed and the incredibly melancholy voice - awesome.

  59. S.... H....

    Neil Diamond is not just a singer, he's extremely intelligent and is a great philosopher - his ability to have a great voice, his ability to compose songs makes him exceptional. It would appear God sings through him.

    S.... H....

    Shamim Huq I so agree yes God must be pleased with this man surely 😉😊♥️

  60. S.... H....

    I like and love all his songs --- they are all perfect and always very thoughtful and deep.

  61. B.... D....

    The lyrics are something extraordinary. Not because the experiences are rare that have settled in the words, but because they capture with pinpoint accuracy the loneliness of the human condition.

  62. a.... ....

    The spirit soars upwards!! ☆♡☆

  63. I.... N....

    I am in Ontario :) Great photos TY

  64. s.... b....

    Qué bella combinación de interpretación y música. No todos lo pueden lograr. Neil único.

  65. P.... A....

    I wish I could look into Veronicas eyes one more time again. After 45 years I still think about her and what could of been if I hadn't of been so stupid

  66. B.... G....

    💜💙💚💛🧡❤

  67. b.... p....

  70. K.... J....

    I thought I have heard every song sung by Neil Diamond...but I don't recall this one and I have been listening to him since the 60's. This song is absolutely beautiful as ALL his music is ! ! ❤. Love you Neil Diamond !

  79. T.... W....

    These words demonstrate in a very clear way the essence of life that Neil also discovered. Enlightenment.
    His voice is very beautiful. He really can sing.

  80. A.... S....

    Hermosa versión de estudio de esta melodia, para mí gusto superada por la versión en vivo del disco Hot August Night, donde se aprecia en los rostros de las fans lo que Neil es capaz de transmitir con sus canciones y su interpretación, Dios lo conserve por buen tiempo todavía

  81. J.... J....

    If possible, this song makes me want to pick up the whole world and hug and kiss all of creation !

  86. H.... T....

    WOW! This must be one of Neil`s very best songs ever, not that the other songs are not good, all his music just truly beautiful. Great song Neil I love your music, simply magnificent.

  87. H.... T....

    Neil Diamond must be one the best songwriters and artist of all times, his songs and words are so inspiring to me, I`ve loved all his music since I could remember, way back when, together with the first Love of my life. It made us cry together in each other`s arms, it tied the bond between us so much stronger. I miss you Moira, but at least when I listen to our music, it brings back such great memories, which I will treasure forever. I will never forget those special moments between you and me.

  88. P.... L....

    Saw him in 1977 at Woburn Abbey and then at the Palladium, two of the best concerts I have ever been to,

  89. M.... T....
