Play Me -- Neil Diamond


She was morning And I was night time I one day woke up To find her lying
Beside my bed I softly said "Come take me"  For I've been lonely In need of someone
As though I'd done Someone wrong somewhere I don't know where Come lately

You are the sun I am the moon You are the words I am the tune  Play me
Song she sang to me Song she brang to me Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me Warmed the night And what was right Became me

You are the sun I am the moon You are the words I am the tune Play me
And so it was That I came to travel Upon the road That was thorned and narrow
Another place Another grace Would save me

You are the sun I am the moon You are the words I am the tune  Play me   (sing365)  





This is a beautiful love song describing the development of the singer's relationship with a new lover from its inception through its maturity. First the lover appears without explanation or question one morning next to his bed. The second verse is often ridiculed and parodied for its use of the word "brang," but it is excusable - songwriters make up words all the time for lyrical purposes. The third verse looks back on how the love of this person has guided the singer "on a road that was thorned and narrow." What isn't clear is whether the love is still current or has passed him by, once again. Being Neil Diamond, there is a good chance it has passed him by, yet again. The chorus celebrates how people complement each other to complete each other.      (songfacts)
