Neil Diamond - Morningside Lyrics






Morningside
The old man died
And no one cried
They simply turned away

And when he died
He left a table made of nails and pride
And with his hands,
He carved these words inside
'For my children'

Morning light
Morning bright
I spent the night
With dreams that make you weep
Morning time
Wash away the sadness
From these eyes of mine
For I recall the words an old man signed
'For my children'

[Spoken:]
And the legs were shaped with his hands
And the top made of oaken wood
And the children
That sat around this great table
Touched it with their laughter
Ah, and that was good

Morningside
An old man died
And no one cried
He surely died alone
And truth is sad
For not a child would claim the gift he had
The words he carved became his epitaph
'For my children'

    I saw Neil Diamond at a Chicago concert in the 70’s.

  33. M.... R....

    This is such a very beautiful song.

  34. T.... B....

    I would like to dedicate this beautiful song to an equally beautiful man - my dad. He passed away last month after a long illness. He was a great Neil Diamond fan, and he also enjoyed carpentry.

  35. b.... c....

    I've been listening to Neil for a long time & don't believe I've heard this song before tonight. And thank you for the beautiful back round.

  36. P.... M....

    Neil's songs touch the heart. This one I just recently discovered. I used to listen to Neil Diamond with my girlfriend in high school. I would give everything I have to share this one with her.

  37. B.... A....

    Dad and I didn't always get along. But, near the end of his life, it was good, and the last thing I said to him was that I loved him.

  38. T.... A....

    Breath of life
    Genius xx
    God given him a message to spread love
    My prophet xx
    Totally genius

  48. A.... L....

    My husband used to play this at the end of his days May 2009 when he passed away
    He listened to Diamond a lot when we were married. We had 3 wonderful years to spend together

  49. M.... T....

    Μου θυμιζει τα νιατα μου κ οτι αυτο συνεπαγεται.......

  50. P.... M....

    I used to listen to Neil with my high school sweetheart, TJ, back in the early 80's. Miss her so much and whenever I hear this particular song, I recall those sweet, special days like it was yesterday. I try so hard now to teach my teenage daughter to hold on to what is special in life and never let it go!

  51. D.... I....

    I wanna listen to this when it's my time to pass over

  52. B.... d....

    Simply, it is a delight to hear this beautiful composition even though my heart cries.

  53. B.... d....

    Yes, Byron, now the feeling is stronger, and more appreciated or beloved, kisses!

  54. A.... S....

    파킨슨씨 병을 빨리 고치고 다시 콘서트 무대에 올라 노래하는 당신을 보고 싶다.

  55. L.... M....

    Lovely Song thank. You💃🧸🥺💋🔥🌹😘💋🌸🤚🏽

  56. d.... l....

    I have been a fan since 1974 or so, I have been very fortunate to have been able to see him so many times. I really do not know how many but I did see him two nights in one week when he was in Worcester Ma still have the t-shirt. In The Round Tour. I saw him about 5 or 6 years he was at Foxwoods, I too lost my father at an early age 53, he left behind his wife, and 14 children but I always say it is too bad he never really got a chance to enjoy his children as he was a marine through and through as I type that I realize not all Marines act that way. When he passed I, as I was in a foster home and had not seen him for 3 years. When I hear Niel Diamond sing this song it kind of puts things in perspective, puts me in a more forgiving spirit.

  57. N.... C....

    ESTA NO EL MISMA GRABACIÓN QUE LA NOCHE CALIDA .............

  58. w.... ....

    Extraordinary video for an equally beautiful song. You are very talented.

  59. E.... E....

    Precioso video siempre me acuerdo de ti xxxxx

  60. g.... ....

    We do things for our children that they may never know, or appreciate. Then we are gone, and the things we did, made for them, they don't appreciate and toss away with all the labor and love for them that we put into it. I see it constantly, and mine will likely do the same.
