LOL. I read that twice myself. One would think that if you “immediately” felt a song was there, you would immediately write it. But maybe that’s just me...

Lyrics to

Sweet Caroline

Sweet Caroline Lyrics
» Neil Diamond

Where it began, I can’t begin to know when
But then I know it’s growing strong
Oh, wasn’t the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who’d believe you’d come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I’ve been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I’ve been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

Glad I’m not the only one to realize that.

I can’t remember the comedian, but there was a joke he did about Neil Diamond...he sounds like an accountant when he sings. I just always remember that when I hear him on the radio...

The enduring hit recently reappeared on the singles chart, thanks in part to the Boston Red Sox. "Sweet Caroline" is played at every home game.

It's something they use in Fenway to keep those of us in Brighton from being able to sleep when there's a home game.

How old was Caroline and how old was Neil?

He is being creepy here .. fantasizing about her as a LITTLE KID. Is he a pedophile?

He just admitted that a song about two lovers touching each other was inspired by a photo of a five year old girl in a riding outfit. Yikes.

Or as others have written....CREEPY

That’s why this is just BS...he met her, he wanted to impress her..because the lyrics just dom’t add up. If it is true, Diamond would be considered a perv by today’s standards..or any standards, I guess. And I don’t think he is. I think Neil is one of the more decent guys.

why do you have to assume he is speaking of touching in a physical sexual way? Do you now hold your children? Do you not touch each other’s souls?

Neil Diamond
Sweet Caroline

Where it began
I can’t begin to knowin’
but then I know it’s growin’ strong.
Was in the spring
then spring became the summer.
Who’da believed you’d come along ?
Hands
touchin’ hands
reachin’ out
touchin’ me
touchin’ you.
Sweet Caroline
good times never seemed so good.
I’ve been inclined
to believe they never would.
But now I -
Look at the night
and it don’t seem so lonely
we fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt
hurtin’ runs off my shoulders
how can I hurt when holdin’ you ?
Warm
touchin’ warm
reachin’ out
touchin’ me
touchin’ you.
Sweet Caroline
good times never seemed so good.
I’ve been inclined
to believe they never would.
Oh
no
no.

I like Neil’s songs but not his politics.

I would really hope that he’s not fantasizing about a LITTLE girl.

Neil still needs to answer for “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.”
