2. Neil Diamond 10-2011 TP I am...I…said

5. LA's fine, sunshine most of the time

6. The feeling is laid back

7. Palm trees grow and the rents are low But you know I keep thinking about

8. Making my way back

9. Well, I'm New York City born and raised

10. But nowadays, I'm lost between two shores

11. LA's fine, but it ain't home

12. New York's home but it ain't mine no more

13. I am, I said To no one there

14. And no one heard at all Not even the chair

15. I am, I cried

16. I am, said I

17. And I am lost, and I can't even say why

18. Leavin' me lonely still

21. Did you ever read about a frog who dreamed of being a king

22. And then became one

23. Well, except for the names and a few other changes If you talk about me,

24. The story's the same one

25. But I got an emptiness deep inside

26. And I've tried but it won't let me go

27. And I'm not a man who likes to swear

28. But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

29. I am, I said To no one there

30. And no one heard at all Not even the chair

31. I am, I cried

32. I am, said I

33. And I am lost, and I can't even say why

34. I am, I said

35. I am, I cried

36. I am...
