Words and music by Neil Diamond



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 a 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

If I die today, I wannted yo 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
