If You Know What I Mean

"If You Know What I Mean"


When the night returns just like a friend

When the evening comes to set me free

When the quiet hours that wait beyond the day make
Peaceful sounds in me
Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
Closed my eyes and I could make it real and
Feel it one more time

Can your hear it babe? Can your hear it babe?
From another time. From another place.
Do you remember it babe?

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade
if you know what I mean
If you know what I mean babe

And here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again but
Hard to let them go

Do you hear it babe? Do you hear it babe?
It was another time. It was another place.
Do you remember it babe?

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade. If you know what I mean
If you know what I mean

Neil Diamond
