Neil Diamond - A Modern Day Version Of Love Lyrics






And the night was filled with laughter
Echoing through painted smiles
And I knew each morning after
I never loved , was never touched
Gave not at all, got back as much
In the comfort of
A modern day version of love

Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
Of lips that ask so much of me
Still I wonder with every embrace
Could I give and not break
Should I care and forsake
All the comfort of
A modern day version of love

Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
For me, yeah
I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
Never cared enough to be afraid
Of anything
Before, not before

Barefoot child on streets of cinder
Sleeping child the morning calls
Pray for spring but face the winter
Take the hand, taste the kiss
Leave behind the emptiness
And the comfort of
A modern day version of love

    Gracias sammytcat por haber subido esta canción de este grande que por cierto en mi querido y golpeado México poco fue difundida pues solo una Radiodifusora se atrevió a hacerlo como Radio Imagen que tristemente su maravillosa programación la destrozaron pues ya no existe pero, bien por ti, por haberla subido, excelente gusto. Saludos 

  14. T.... E....

    Fantastic.

  15. 5.... ....

    This is one of his greatest ballads I have ever heard. This great singer/songwriter in my opinion is the best of them all!

  16. e.... ....

    its funny, because i feel privildged too! there is no one like him today...no one I can look up to

  17. T.... ....

    Splendid vision of a man.....sigh.......

    Neil you are a wonderous singer and man, I have loved you, since I was 15.
    I have to listen to you every day to make me feel happy.
    listening to you has made my teenage yrs easier....

  21. M.... S....

    Just his guitar and his voice. Sounds great!

  22. 1.... ....

    I fell in love with Neil and his music when I was 12, rising 13. I still know why. This was such a good song. He is still a class act, you only have to listen to his version of Midnight Train to Georgia to know that.

  23. c.... m....

    @ReinaAntilles I have found this BBC performance on a DVD called Neil Diamond - Diamonds from the Vault. The first half is this 1971 concert and the second half is a 2001 concert. It is not the entire performance as modern day version of love isn't on it but 7 more songs are there. Got it from Amazon Uk. Thought you may be interested!

  24. W.... E....

    @cherrylm2 Wasted years I agree, a time machine would come in handy, anyone got a tardis ?, I wonder how many women feel the same way as us, bet there are quite a few. I cringe now when I think of the pop stars I followed then, David Cassidy,was really in love with him and David Essex came a close second, if only we knew him better back then .

  25. W.... E....

    @ReinaAntilles Seeing him at the LG Arena in Birmingham - cant wait. Thanks I know I will have a great time. :)

  26. c.... m....

    @kenziexxpodders Snap! I am seeing Neil for the first time also on 28th June... and I cannot wait! It seems we have both come to appreciate him in the later years of his career. I kind of missed him in the 70's as I was more into bands then and he was a bit out on his own as a solo performer. So many years wasted but im trying to make up for them now. I hope he has many more years of performing ahead and that this will not be his last tour. 127 days and counting..

  27. W.... E....

    Yes,Thank heaven for Youtube - I only wish that we had it years ago because, I didn't realize how gorgeous this man was back then until I started watching him on here, he has got to be the most handsome man ever. I am so excited that I will be seeing ND the the first time on 28th June, its about time too, just hope that the seats arnt too far back on the block, think I'l take my binoculars ha ha....yipee.

  28. c.... m....

    @ReinaAntilles You are not the only one. I have to have my daily fix of this gorgeous man and I too love this particular song as I dont think its that well known, I kind of feel priviledged to be listening to it. May he go on singing for many years to come.

  29. c.... m....

    @ReinaAntilles You are not the only one. I have to have my daily fix of this gorgeous person and I too love this particular song. May he go on singing for many years to come.

  30. W.... E....

    @cherrylm2. Yep , I'm still watching thses golden classics of Neil when ever I can. He is definitely my guilty pleasure too. He's on TV here on 13th Nov, its a programme that was aired on radio last Saturday-The Electric Proms, can't wait to watch it. Is there any hope for the likes of us ? Ha Ha

  31. c.... m....

    @kenziexxpodders Is your ND early videos addiction still going strong ? He has been on TV here a bit lately and looking and sounding good. The oldie videos are still my guilty pleasure though! Can never get enough of them and Modern Day Version of Love is still definately one of the best.

  32. W.... E....

    @cherrylm2 yes I've watched it all over and over again. Once I get on here-I cant get off, time just goes by and I'm in another world, What a treat for my eyes though. !

  33. c.... m....

    @kenziexxpodders Have you found the I am...I said posted by andres288? Same early seventies hair, another red shirt. You will love it. Looks like he has just got out of bed after a rough and tumble but I think that just adds something to it. Just gorgeous.

  34. W.... E....

    @cherrylm2 Yes I know, it is scary, 'its his eyes,voice everything . I didn,t know how good looking he was back then, but loved listening to the "Hot August Night" LP, wish we'd had youtube back then-wouldn't that have been something !

  35. c.... m....

    @kenziexxpodders Im with you. I am totally addicted to this man and have to look at and listen to him everyday. Its getting scary. Never appreccciated him when I was younger but now I know what I was missing! This song in particular is so haunting.

  36. J.... E....

    very beautiful.

  37. H.... ....

    A one of a kind performer. Neil has a set of vocal cords that were second to none. His control and putting so many different emotions into it just shows what a gifted natural individual he is. If you want to hear something unusual for Neil, listen to him singing "Kol Nidre" in the Jazz Singer. This haunting tune is sung during Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. Another great singer, Steve Lawrence sings "Where can I go", which is up here. The images and song will blow you away!

  38. e.... ....

    Listen to this great voice in this song!!!
    Listen closely to the deep tone and the golden runs, I do not know of anyone today who has these qualities.
    I've never heard this song before, it is really stunning. Timeless.

  39. W.... E....

    Still cant stop watching him...HELP.

  40. W.... E....

    such a loveley song ...wish more people would listen to this and comment ..because its truly a heart felt song of what he was feeling at the time ... but trying to read between the lines I'M finding it difficult to really understand what it means.... considering he was married at the time ...................any interpretatations..please comment...

  41. W.... E....

    A beautiful song i've said already but how beautiful can one man be...look at those eyes and those facial features... god how lucky were his wives ?

  42. W.... E....

    Such a beautiful song, shows his true voice in this, so rich and strong,he really feels in this song , so good.Thanks for posting sammytcat.

    My favorite song by Neil Diamond. Very beautiful. Thank you very much for posting.

  51. j.... ....

    I've sung a few Neil songs, but this is the first time I've heard this one. :)

  52. r.... ....

    I don't think I'd ever seen him perform this either in concert or on a T.V. show before just now. And it's been debated over the years whether he sings "truly" or "Julie" in one point in this song. I'd always thought it was "truly", but in this recording, it's clearly "Julie"! It's well-known that Barbra Streisand recorded one Neil Diamond song, "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", but her lesser-known half-sister Roslyn Kind also recorded one, and it was this song.
