Diamond, Neil - If I Don't See You Again Lyrics
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
We rode that train through the night
If I don't see you again
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 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
When you're feeling lost
And there's nobody out there
Looking for you
What will you do
Where will you go
If I don't see you again
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

Diamond, Neil If I Don't See You Again Comments
Está música, não sei porque, faz me lembrar os velhinhos, abandonados, nos hospitais, orfos de filhos vivos as crianças de rua, animais abandonados, e maltrados, enfim,, se as pessoas fossem mais unidas e humildes não havia tanta tristeza no mundo que é felizmente. A epocrisia é tanta, porque só comem no Natal e depois ficam o ano todo a passar mal fome, e a dormir no chão das ruas, mas que Mundo é este🦓🦍🦓🦓🦓🦓🐗🐗🐗deviam ter vergonha o que interessa agora são. OS TURISTAS QUE VIERAM PRA. AQUI POR O NOSSO POVO SEM CASAS. TUDO POR CAUSA DA GANÂNCIA DO DINHEIRO É AINDA POF CIMA ALGUNS VÃO PRA IGREJA PEDIR AO PADRE PARA POLOS. NO ALTAR,,, MAS OS PADRES TAMBÉM SÃO FRESCOS🐗😅 T, SO PENSAM EM DINHEIRO E A METER AO BOLSO IGREJISTAS É FALSOS PROFETAS, SÓ GOSTAM DELES, O RESTO, É FADOS,, 🦓🐗😎😎😎😎😎🐗🐗🦓🐗
Miss you Bobby, I will love you forever.
A song writer in the top class!
What an icon!
Fantastic.
He has the majick of a bard...much like Cohen.....haha jewish bards!!! One if Ireland's best kept secrets. :D Part of their secret I think....is learning the deep rich tones of cantors. And then, they weave words into a story that most of us have had..... and have locked away. Touching hearts...is the highest art. Sometimes it gets down right 'holy/spiritual'. This is sad but true...the essence of a flower is at it's strongest,it's most beautiful...just as it is giving up this life. <3 Thank you @ondeafearsblog for loading this priceless gem <3 For me...I could see this as more than a romantic love song. I felt it spelling out the love of a sister watching and hoping her brother wold find love,peace,a home atlast. My brother gave his life doing the quiet work... a devotion few have so the rest of us can have the illusion of feeling safe. There never could be a life partner who could play second fiddle to that style of functioning. I filled in the best I could, when he needed to unburden the horrors he'd been thru. Had to keep my mouth shut when it became clear he was running from himself and see how these folks try to cope using unhealthy crutches.Just when it looked like he could stand down,stop cheating death and retire early for a 'normal' life...out of the blue I'd said to a co-worker ' I am never going to see my brother again'. Our bond was so strong, much like twins we could 'feel' the other one in trouble even if it was half the planet away. Two nights later, at midnight,every police car from two towns descended on my farm. Unusual, but in our world it is a sign of deep respect. Fate had stepped in with other plans for my brother. THIS TIME I COULDN'T SAVE HIM. <3 I'd give anything for that one last hug. <3 This song can be about any love shared between hearts.YEP, I've talked here a lot ..let's call it therapy. Creator knows how to move us, when the time is right, and let us heal a little. Mr.Neil Diamond...you probably will never see this..nope. But things would be left undone if I didn't say Thank You from the heart and send love your way. I have really been touched by the comments here and the people behind them.We are all brothers and sisters...trying to find the majick place called home. Everyone enlightened about trying to live with no soul crushing regrets. Holding each other up with love in sharing the gift of this song.It is selfish but..I feel pretty blessed watching how this strange life is at work. @ondeafearsblog ...wouldn't it be awesome if could share a real humble hug with the gem? :D I don't want to leave this page,this song,the feeling that is with me right now. akkkkkkkkkk...for real I go...sprinkling loving pixie dust at everyone for all time. - In spirit part of me is staying tho lolololol
Grabbed my heart and never let go!
Neil Diamond is awesome xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kinda reminds of johhny cash .but that's bc it's produced by Rick Rubin
This is such a beautiful song with such touching words
Amazing piece. Reminds me so much of someone I lost many years ago.
No pretty harmonies, written from the heart, with damning, cold sincerity.
Love it

Played for x-ray Burns......
Beautifully written Dave!

Such a meaningful Amazing lyrıcs & Heartfelt song... I like it all the meaningful songs Which touch the soul ...
I can't get through an hour without you.....
Listen to his song one must clear the mind..or u ll be in trouble
Unbelievable collection of songs!
David, I lost someone so close me. DREAM AND HOLD HER AGAIN, YOUR LOVE WILL NEVER END, HER LOVE WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU. WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN. BELIEVE ! SHE'S WAITING FOR YOU.
My parents left 23 years ago (My Mother), 21 years (My Father) and My In-laws: 11 years (My Father-in-law) and 2 years (My Mother-in-law), and although they do not physically have them by My Side, I always feel them spiritually with us, and we will always live with the Hope of someday seeing them again, when we are called to the Presence of Almighty God. Thank you Dads and in-laws, also thanks to Neil for this beautiful song.

"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
We rode that train through the night
And never cared where it went
If I don't see you again
If I don't see you again
We ran a whole other race
Two strangers meet on the road
And find a time and a place
We never once had to lie
We've passed the age of conscent
If I don't see you again
I know it's crazy out there
My head is 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
It's suddenly cold
Who's gonna hold you
Who's gonna love you
Who will you go to
Who you gonna call if it ain't me
When you're feeling lost
And there is nobody out there
Looking for you
What will you do
Where will you go
If I don't see you again
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 see turn around
Don't need to 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 those missed conventions
These men must have somehow missed something more
Cause we're here alone
I know we're together
To fall apart
I know how to get back home
Each time we say that
Cause you're frustrated too long
You've been too lonely to know
To find that something is wrong
The time if perfect to go
Before the curtain descents
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 dirt
Looking to run
You're running away
And when you came on to save me
Doesn't look like the future is clear
I need you to hear me
Praying to
But nobody hears me
I had a plan to the moon
Each time you're saying good bye
Cause if I stayed for too long
You get too lonely to work
To find that something was wrong
The time is perfect to go
Before the curtain descents
Right now when both of us know
Everything has 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

Get a hearing aid
Thank u for lyrics
Thank you
love this song and the album.i bought this album at a poignant time in my life.
For my precious grandson !
For my precious grandson !
I love this song, it really paints a picture of a great train ride and meeting the perfect person. You always have the right words at the right moment. It touched my soul!
Rosanne from Cincinnati
Johnny Cash-style?
Rick Rubin who produced all the Cash American albums also produced this and brought along the same team of musicians to back Diamond up that he used with Cash. Including Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
lern sumthin new evry damn day, thank u!
@Etrigan2112....Thank you for that information. That explains why this song has that Johnny Cash "Hurt" sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FywSzjRq0e4
I love all his songs sometimes very touching make me cry
We were friends in a previous life
Nice................
I Love Neil Diamond ..he touches the soul
ruth carter
I very much agree. All his music has been pretty much based on my entire life and then some. Assume.
I truly believe we are related. This man reads my life and soul. Live forever, Neil and write those deep beautiful lyrics and sing. I love to sing along with you and cry and laugh.....
amen ,thought i was crazy for years till others who know me after listening to his music surprised me with the same conclusion .
I fell in love with Neil Diamond years ago. This song is one of many reasons why. The man is a poet.
I'll bet that I've more years on you loving his music!
Amazing lyrıcs. soul touching..
For my lost friend...J.S.
This is a masterpiece, which can sit comfortably with Neil's greatest work, it is hard to believe that such majesty comes from one man, his innate ability to convey feelings in song is unmatched, the song cuts through you, and reaches your very soul, and makes you reflect on all that has gone before in your life, lost love, sadness, nostalgia, joy, happiness, redemption and fulfillment, it is delivered in a poignant and almost sombre way, Neil's voice conveys the song perfectly.
Dave Radstock,Thanks for the answer, I hear again Neil and I'm excited.I'm a big fan, but only 4 months. In Slovakia, where I live, they did not play Neil's music. I know about cover versions of some songs.Neil D. I discovered on youtube. It was a miracle for me. I do not know English, but in the depths of my soul I understand his songs. Or find a text translation in google.Every day I go to Yotub to listen to Neil. His music, his lyrics and his voice is what I missed my whole life.Excuse my Englisch...
I Sherri Petoletti, (Stephani Petoletti's Mother) has also listened to Neil since a young girl he is my favorite.
Dave Radstock
Hell of a way to put it but you did it right. I feel the very same way.
Stephani Petoletti
Como estas
Dave, you expressed all I would say, but less masterfully than you said it. Thank you.
Formidable!
See you again I like this like this™™
david sanderson....you are holding you good lady in your heart...you will always have your LOVE.
@john morrisey Yes always in my heart and my head, a very special and wonderful lady. Thank's Dave.
So nice but very sad !!!!!! Neil's voice is so pretty still !!!!!!
my wife died almost three years ago but i see her every day in my thoughts and my memory's ( just wish i could hold her again )
+david sanderson God bless you Mr. Sanders
Dave, you will be together again. Its just your turn yet.
david sanderson I too gave my husband back to God in 2016, it was his 3rd fight with cancer, it was 6 weeks before our 42 year anniversary...he fought like a warrior till his last breath..his plan was for that night was a bottle of Strawberry Hill wine and listening to Neil Diamond all night.On the 25th of Feb.2016...I toasted my love and listened to this album.He is still my husband ...and he was there...in my heart and the memories we shared.
hope yur doing well
Remember she is looking bond with you sorry
love him, my wife will play this when i.m gone.
i have no idea what you replied ... sorry xx
I have been your fan forever! So glad your music is back!!!
Love his music... it brings calm to the soul!
Nice Song!

Song with special meaning...
Adore him.Bring me nice memories..
This song is just beautiful, listen to the words,,! Allanamaricky,,xax
I saw Neil Diamond live in concert at the University of Tennessee. This was and remains the highlight of my life. Love you Neil Diamond.
Have always loved Neil Diamond...Our American Treasure!
really nice
Who you gonna run to baby ................
Neil Diamond - Me faz Chorar !!!
wonderful. happy b day neil
Neil Diamond still has that golden Midas touch after all these years! I hope he continues recording & performing! We still need & never tire of your beautiful music, Neil!
Bravo, Neil Leslie Diamond!
This is the best stuff he's ever done. His cheesy delivery and overblown production of his early career always kept me away. Thankfully, Rick Rubin reached out and brought out of Neil what had always been there, lying dormant, waiting for discovery.
thank you for that man who introduce me to neil,,, now this song is my song for him,, sad,, but that is life.. i love you drjavedz
I would have gave up on life before I gave up on you............
I cant even put into words how much this song means to me! Neil Diamand is too special!!!
Great song,great lyrics.great voice,great personality! Neil, May your tribe Increase!!!!
Two of my all time favorites... Neil Diamond/Waylon Jennings. "If I Don't See You Again" Love this song.
I sent this song as my final goodbye to a lost potential love who passed away of cancer just last last week. I cant say the words that Mr. Diamond put together but he exactly knew the sentiment that I HAD to convey. Thank you for providing this final goodbye
3 years ago, and today......this song is amazing.......Neil is timeless.
Neil Diamond is the living embodiment of all that is good in this World - those who disdain his music are those who are never truly in touch with themselves.
From the bottom of my heart - I thank you, Neil, for making my life that much happier with your music.
To the one dislikes & others who don't like it, Hope I Don't See You Again on this channel.
love it so much, listen to it every day.
love Neil since i was a kid but the last 2 albums are amazing, he sings right into my heart
Like many of you out there, this song feels as though Neil has written and recorded it as a soundtrack to my life some thirty-six years ago. When I bought this CD and first played this, the opening track, by the end of it, I was blubbing like a baby ! I'd always thought Neil's "Red, Red Wine" was the song I associated with my 'time' but I never realised how much POWER there is still there within Neil's heart and soul. You are my friend Neil ! Thank you for this. Blessings ! !
@bucsbunny So right...He is our musical Messiah and we his followers. Every time I see his concerts here in UK it's like a pilgrimage that I MUST attend
53k views? Its true what they say, depth doesn't sell, a catchy chorus does
Bought by my lost friend for a birthday a couple of years back. God , how I loved her. I've been lost ever since.
I've loved this song since the first time I heard it.........just reminds me of so many times in my life......one of the great songs
me too
