The Story Of My Life Song Trivia
"The Story of My Life" narrowly missed the top ten on the adult contemporary charts and has since become one of Neil Diamond's best-known and well-respected songs. It's album "Headed for the Future" has been certified gold in the US by the RIAA.
''The Story of My Life,'' a moody ballad, is the only song rescued from an earlier scrapped album with the same name. Diamond's record company, Columbia, rejected the whole album, entitled ''The Story of My Life,'' as non-commercial.
But Diamond remained remarkably unperturbed by these rebuffs. ''The songs on 'The Story of My Life' were written after the death of my father and were very personal and dark,'' he said. ''I understood Columbia's position.''
The Story Of My Life Song 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 very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave
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 very plain to read
It starts the day you came
It ends the day you leave
