Diamond, Neil - The Story Of My Life Lyrics






The story of my life
Is very plain to read
It starts the day you came
And ends the day you leave

The story of my life
Begins and ends with you
The names are still the same
And the story's still the truth

I was alone
You found me waiting
And made me your own
I was afraid
That somehow I never could be
The man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life,
And every word is true
Each chapter sings your name
Each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
And never letting go
And if I die today,
I wanted you to know

Stay with me here
Share with me, care with me
Stay and be near
And when it began
I'd lie awake every night
Just knowing somewhere deep inside
That our affair just might write

The story of my life
Is so very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave

Diamond, Neil The Story Of My Life Comments

    And each day we write a page of the book of the sories of our lives. Some people being a part of it for only a chapter or two... Love this song and the emotions it awakens

    I consider Neil Diamond the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. Neil is like a tree of beautiful music. Each branch is different. From the time he started till now, he has branched out in so many different types of music. From rock and roll to timeless ballads and inspirational music to even Christmas music. Neil makes a song better with all of the classic arrangements that seem to hit the mind, the hearts and souls of everyone. From powerful songs like Holy Holly, to a song such as this one that will make you emotional just listening to music and the timeless words and the message it relays. Neil thank you, I'm still listening to your music and God has given you The Gift Of Song.

  5. C.... A....

    This gem was obscure for many years because it was released on Neil Diamond's 1986 album Headed For The Future. While a good album, in my opinion, it is a huge departure from Neil's other work. This 1986 album is a product of its time, meaning very keyboard heavy and features drum machines. Nothing wrong with this, just know that it is a big departure from Neil's other work which has been more orchestral, consisting mainly of strings and brass instruments. The Story of My Life is easily the best song on the album, but the other songs are nice also.

    Pietro was the story of my life. We loved each other with every fiber in our bodies. Because of my child's illness, I had to return to America to find the care he required. I had no choice. Pietro couldn't come with me, as he had his own children to care for. We talked almost daily for several years but the pain of suffering from our separation became more than we could handle. So we decided to let go. It has been 18 yrs and the pain is still so raw for me. I can't remember a day that I haven't thought of him and wish that the deck of cards were dealt differently. This was our song and "The Bridges of Madison County" was our movie. I loved him then, I love him today and I will love him forever.

    E.... T....

    Pietro was THE story of my life.

  57. J.... M....

    Introspective and reminiscent lyrics to a beautiful melody composed and sung by Neil. It tells the story of a love relationship. Yes, the story of my life “began the day he came (my husband) and ended (in many ways) the day he left (died)”. The words are so passionate that I fill up every time I listen to it. Neil is a ‘Poet’!! His lyrics evoke so much emotion, feeling. 🥰☺️

  58. L.... l....

    Omg never heard that before tho as kids we were bought up listening to Neil ... A beautiful beautiful song X

    Neil Diamond . My lifetime artist 👀🎤🎧🎼♥️

  62. J.... M....

    I, always, thought I knew what love was until I met HIM 4 years ago. We've been apart for 1 year now and I just cannot move on. I have never loved anyone like I love him. Is anyone feeling the same and grappling with letting go? I am so sad and don't want to stay this way. I'm moving to another state hoping I can shake it. I've always told him love is not like a faucet that can be turned on and off.

  63. E.... F....

    welcome to love.........

  64. K.... F....

    My heart is in my throat! Wow

  65. k.... ....

    What about all the women loads of them

  66. m.... ....

    My wife Wanda was the story of my life.
    We met in Mar. 1960, I was 14 and she was 12. We were married 5 years later, and against the odds of teenage marriages lasting, we had 53 years as man and wife. We never both gave up on the same day, and as the song says never letting go. We would still be together if cancer had not taken her from me May 1, 2018. My life as I knew it ended when she had to leave. Wanda you were the story of my life.

  67. G.... B....

    Nice Work - Jon Viera - excellent put - video- very heart felt.

  68. B.... P....

  87. D.... W....

    The words of this beautiful song describe my feelings exactly. I lost my wonderful husband David last September after 59 years of marriage. I miss him so much. God bless you Neil for all your beautiful songs a And music Jackie

  88. b.... ....

    lovely song, tom, x

  89. M.... S....

    I too listen to this song over and over. Neil is one of my favorite singers and this song is such a direct arrow to the heart. I have a story of my life, but I can't write it. I envy those who can write theirs.

  90. m.... z....

    I once played this selection in a half crowded pub and turned to a way out of my league woman. I could tell it surprised her, but in a good way, when I introduced myself and asked if she would mind to dance. No the night did not lead to romance but I ran into her and husband years later. She said, honey,it was becuz of this man's dance, that opened my eyes to know my one time fiancee wasn't Mr right. They found one another shortly after that breakup. She turned to me, said I want to thank you and kissed me on the cheek. He then looked me, also saying I want to thank you , smiled and shook my hand. Very cool feeling but do realize that dance would not have happened without Neil diamond's help.

  91. K.... S....

    Makes me cry every time I hear it, stay with me here... I have to sing this before I die. Quick, get me a Mic! I undergo major heart surgery on May 14th 2019, I have to come through, so much more living & loving to do.

    K.... S....

    You'll do fine.

    K.... S....

    Carole A Holmes thank you & God bless you too. What a wonderful song!

    K.... S....

    Henry Applegate I’m sure I will! Thank you. ☺️

    K.... S....

    Carole A Holmes thank you so much. 🙂

    K.... S....

    Made a full recovery, plan on being around until I’m at least 95. My mum is in her nineteenth year, living independently & still going strong!
    Thanks for all the good wishes. ❤️

  92. M.... L....

    Owh so beautiful 💖.. I haven't have a love that was so true to me.. One time I met one and I believed.. But it's just a week and he's gone.. Even though I don't know where he was.. Still in my mind and heart I wished I die with him

  93. c.... ....

    True,so very true to ones life and his loss of his One True Love. I'll never find that again. I'm sure of that.
