Play That Tune

The storm clouds are gathering inside my head I’m far too troubled for sleep in my bed I’ve got worries on my mind the world’s all bad news life’s getting me down and I’ve got the blues. But I know what to do when the feelings all gloom I’ll put on the stereo and play that tune. The one by Neil Diamond a favourite of mine that old little melody called Sweet Caroline. I’ll listen for a while as the blues drift away everything’s alright when I hear that music play. Some time will pass and I’ll be troubled some more I’ll be wearing a frown bad feelings galore with worries of life and troubles ahead my mind full of fear with things that I dread. So I’ll play that tune again of Caroline so sweet it always picks me up that special Diamond beat I’ll listen for a while the dark will turn to light and all of a sudden things will seem alright.
