Words and music by neil diamond


Lady-oh, lady-oh, i walked the streets again last night.
I saw you in the city light like a vision, lady-oh.
Lady i, lady i, i've been waitin' around such a long long time
Believin' i could make you mine, just wanting you lady-oh.

But here i am and there you are, much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot, you know it does, it hurts a lot.
Oh, lady-oh, am i gonna ever learn what i never learned before?

City lights, city lights burn so warm and they burn so bright,
But me, i walk the city night to forget you, lady-oh.

But here i am and there you are, much too far to even hear me.
Hurts a lot, you know it does, it hurts a lot.
Oh, lady-oh, am i gonna ever learn what i never learned before?
