Written by: Neil Diamond



Hey little boy

Just sitting on your back porch

Picking on your guitar

Wishing you were far away



Well, I can tell

You've had a little bit fo a dream

I see it in your eyes

I can hear it in the songs you play



And hey little boy

Just play it like you feel it

Make it so real

It's almost to real to take



Just swing it like a player

Make it like a prayer

It's one from the heart

Give it all of the hear it can take



And when you play what you wanna play

Just reach down to the soul

You keep on growing and you'll know some day

That sound is gonna turn into gold



Boy, you're taking me there

To guitar heaven

And without saying a word

You lay it all on the line

And make me leave my cares

In guitar heaven

Just go and play your song

I could stay all night



Play it son

(guitar solo)



You know, you're taking me there

To guitar heaven

You make me feel every sound

You make it shine like a light

I'm gonna lose my cares

In guitar heaven

You go and play that song

I'm gonna stay a while



Go and play that song, boy

I'm gonna stay a while

The way you play that song

Makes me wanna smile
