Neil Diamond - Can Anybody Hear Me? Lyrics

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 feelin'
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 feelin'
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 feelin'
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?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?
Can anybody out there hear me?
