Neil Diamond - Oh Mary Lyrics






1... 2... 3...
Oh Mary
Can you hear my song?
Does it make a mournful sound?
I sang it once when first I saw you
And I sing it to you now.
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talking bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh
I'm lookin' for something I never knew
Mary Oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you

Oh Mary
You can doubt the world,
But don't ever doubt in me
I sang it once that I'd never leave you
And that's how its gonna be
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talkin' bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No I don't want nothin' in between
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh
I'm looking for something I never knew
Mary Oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you

Oh Mary
Let the chance go by
It may never come again
I've been around and I know what happens
And I'm too old to pretend
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talkin' bout love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh
I'm lookin' for something I never knew
Mary Oh Mary
Oh Mary
You know I'm lookin' for you.

Oh Mary
Was it just a dream
That I dreamed the other night?
I saw you there
Standing right beside me
And we finally had it right
Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Talkin' out love
Mary Oh Mary Oh
No, I don't want nothing in between
Mary Oh Mary
Don't tie me to words that you don't mean
Mary Oh Mary Oh
I'm looking for something I never knew
Mary Oh Mary Oh
Oh Mary you know I'm looking for you
Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh
Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Oh Mary Ohhhh

Neil Diamond Oh Mary Comments
  1. B.... M....

    Played this at my mums funeral. I cried hard for my mumma Mary 😓

  2. E.... L....

    Best Neil Diamond song

  3. M.... M....

    OMG...I never heard this before...I am in tears......his voice just kills me..........

    M.... M....

    A voice that reaches deep into your soul and strokes you revealing all your innermost desires. A voice that soothes you when life is too hard. A voice that sings truth.

  4. O.... P....

    Oh, what a beautiful song. What a great gift we have been given in Neil Diamond. The man bares his soul so beautifully...

  5. M.... S....

    Happy Birthday my man Neil Diamond!!

  6. M.... V....

    Nog nooit gehoord, maar wat een heerlijk lied om naar te luisteren,liefs marian.

  7. D.... B....

    First time I heard this also. Beautiful and soothing. A prayer that is sung. Twice as effective. May you and Katie be abundantly blessed.

  8. M.... M....

    This is my favorite album of his. I love all of his phenomenal works, but I heard of this album before it was released. I read an article somewhere and it said that he said it would be his last and that it was acoustic. I bought it the day it went on sale and loved it from the start. oh Mary, Hell Yeah, Delirious Love and Captain Of A Shipwreck are my favorites, not necessarily in that order, but I love every song on it.

  9. F.... T....

    This guy is legend. Born with a soulful rasp along with a talent for writing the most melodic tunes of his generation.

  10. M.... R....

    First time hearing this beautiful love song,a man full of love in his heart,Neil you are the best singer.

  11. K.... S....

    12 Songs has 13 tracks...

  12. Y.... ....

    I remember 10 years ago listening to song every night coming home from church. It’s just as I remember :)

  13. M.... H....

    My name is Mary -- I lost my longtime love 3 years ago. I have recently found I can still feel love. This song touches me deeply.

  14. M.... G....

    This song is so soothing, so sweet. I like to hear her.

  15. B.... M....

    My mum's name is Mary and my sister picked this song for her at her funeral she died too young..Miss my mumma x

  16. T.... F....

    I don't much care for stripped down neil. I prefer the more bombastic orchestra  neil

    T.... F....

    Tony From Syracuse this is a grower though

    T.... F....

    I think the same way now also. He makes really good use of orchestras.

  17. R.... K....

    Hearing for the first time ,great ,Neil , really ,has God gifted voice .

  18. M.... F....

  21. T.... E....

    I love this song.

  22. R.... P....

    I have enjoyed this lovely song many times.  The CD of 12 Songs by Neil Diamond was given to me by my family Christmas 2012. The cover photo of Neil is the best and my favorite and I leave it at the very front of the big pile of his other CDs. 
    A very soothing and sweet song!

  23. l.... d....

    Neil vous etes le magicien des émotions,toutes vos musiques et vos chansons jettent un sort sur nos coeurs.Peut etre vos lointaines origines russes,font que les arts vous sont soumis,et votre ame sait si bien exprimer tous nos sentiments,en fait ,tout l'humain.Je vous aime depuis plus de 40 ans,et vous ne me décevez jamais depuis. Que Dieu vous garde longtemps en vie et dans le bonheur.De ma lointaine France,je vous dis merci des milliers de fois encore,pour tout ce que vous nous avez offert.

  24. T.... E....

    Lovely.....

    what a great song all I have to substitute is Mary for Julie, my beloved wife.
    .

  37. J.... R....

    IVE ,THE MAXIM SONGS

  38. D.... G....

    @RomanDeacon My story is much like yours. Hubby introduced me to Neil back in the early 70's. We go to every concert when Neil comes to town. The man never lets us down. He is an awesome talent and we LOVE him. We're all growing old together, my Dennis, Neil and myself. Life is good!!!!

  39. m.... ....

    Mary, this song says it all.

  40. R.... E....

    @dcgreek Neil Diamond was first introduced to me by my wife, her name is Mary. At that time Sweet Caroline was the hit and I have always thought of that as our song, until now. She sent me this link and I now consider it our song after 39 years of marriage. She has been with me throuhout the cold war when I would travel abroad by myself.

  41. J.... A....

    First time I heard this song, I wept. Neil Diamond sings here what it's like to be older and wiser--and still holding out for real love rather than "settling." Only an older man can sing this song with credibility and this kind of depth. Thank you, Neil.

  42. p.... t....

    Hermosa canción ...Preciosa voz...
    Desde pequeña esta voz a estado presente...

  43. T.... ....

    The first pic looks like a Peter Paul Rubens painting.

  44. s.... ....

    I love the sound of his voice and the clarity it bring in making lyrics meaningful.

  45. T.... ....

    Rick Rubin strips it down, buck naked.

  46. r.... ....

    Love this and the albulm was great, Neal is great !

  47. K.... R....

    My girlfriend's called Mary x i love her sooooo much x This song just makes me think of her even more x :)

  48. S.... F....

    If you enjoy Neil Diamond try his version of "I Dreamed A Dream" from Hot August Night 2 (1987). Compare with Susan Boyle and all the others. Also, check out the change in lyrics. Video link posted above.

  49. M.... G....

    so fucking food song

  50. J.... F....

    oh mary mary

  51. S.... F....

    I think he was Irish in a past life

  52. d.... ....

    Oh Mary my Mary Oh Mary, I love you so. Mary Im loveing you so! Im not looking I've found you and Im not ever leaving you. Oh Mary I'm talkin bout you. I love you

  53. W.... ....

    sigh :*) beautiful

  54. m.... d....

    thanksgiving and Teri weighs heavy--this song says it.

  55. j.... f....

    NEIL DIAMOND,ERES INCREIBLE,UNICO.

  56. i.... ....

    This is one of his greatest songs, but I saw Hell Yeah live and this is one of the greatest songs Neil made. Forever Neil.

  57. J.... V....

    Lovely song! Almost every song on that album is gold. Evermore is another one I like very much. His latest album Home before dark is maybe even better. May he live forever!

  58. m.... d....

    Oh Teri ...though you are gone from us I will never stop looking for you..rest in peace

  59. J.... ....

    ....i'm to old to pretend...and we finally had it right...thanks

  60. a.... ....

    Excellence!! Neil Rulzzzz!

  61. J.... ....

    ...thanks for the post...one of his best...and one of my choices...

  62. S.... T....

    When I first heard "Oh, Mary" a few months ago it brought to mind the mystical quality of Neil's "Lady Magdalene" from the 70's and I wondered if there was some type of connection between the two songs. Just a thought to throw out. Thanks so much for posting this more recent song of Neil's.
