And the singer sings his song
Neil Diamond · The Best Of Neil Diamond (21 Tracks) [2007]
Laugh, if I could laugh, And I did. And the singer sings his song, And the
children dance along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along.
Good it was when it was, We chased the flowers, Warm summer showers.
Once, it was once long ago. And the singer sings his song, And the children
dance along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along. Once, it
was once long ago. And the singer sings his song, And the children dance
along, And the singer sings his song, And we dance along. And the singer
sings his song and we dance along.
