CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME Lyrics

Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Bill LaBounty


You got to take your time now, 
If love is gonna take you by the hand.
You need to take your time, though, 
'Cause love is not a thing you can command.
There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?

I listen to the river and hear the river callin' out her name.
I'm tryin' to forgive her, but nothin's ever gonna be the same.
There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?

There's got to be a reason, got to be a closeness.
It's got to have a fellin' only you can know.
And when you find love, hold on tight.
Don't ever waste another night.
You're gonna make it through in spite of your fears.
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
