Forever In Blue Jeans

Neil Diamond · Hot August Night Nyc (Uk Slipcase Pressing) [2009]

Money talks

But it don't sing and dance

And it don't walk

As long as i can have you here with me

I'd much rather be

Forever in blue jeans

Honey's sweet

But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat

And if you pardon me i'd like to say

We'll do ok

Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight,

By the fire all alone,you and I

Nothing around

But the sound of my heart

And your sighs

Money talks

But it can't sing and dance

And it can't walk

As long as i can have you here with me

I'd much rather be

Forever in blue jeans, babe

and Honey's sweet

But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat

And if you pardon me

I'd like to say

We do ok

Forever in blue jeans

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight,

By the fire all alone,you and I

Nothing around

But the sound of my heart

And your sighs

And money talks

But it don't sing and dance

And it don't walk

Long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be

Forever in blue jeans

And if you pardon me

I'd like to say

We do okay

forever in blue jeans, babe

As long as I can have you here with me

I'd much rather be

Forever in blue jeans, babe
