One More Bite Of The Apple

One More Bite of the Apple By Neil Diamond (Album: Home Before Dark) Been away from you for much too long Been away but now I'm back where I belong Believed while I was gone away That I'd do just fine But I couldn't get the mu-sic off my mind And I couldn't leave the needing you be-hind. Free the word from the page. Free the bird from the cage. Just go out there and face what you did before, Did it once, you can do it once more. Yeah Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple. Taste is sweet. It's the nectar of life, And you know that it's right 'Cause you know you're not out there alone. And that one more bite of the ap - ple Is all you're gonna need to bring it home. I couldn't count the chances that I've lost Couldn't count the chanc - es or the cost. But I can't help thinkin' 'bout the days of way back when, And I know I wanna taste them once again. Yes I know I wanna taste them once again. Got some things to be said. Goin' 'round in my head. Time to get out of bed 'Cause I've slept too long, And I know there's a place I belong Yeah Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple. Taste is sweet. It's the nectar of life, And you know that it's right 'Cause you know you're not out there alone. And that one more bite of the ap - ple Is all you're gonna need to bring it home. Was a time that I won't ever forget. They were times that I will never regret. I've been thinkin' 'bout those days since way back then, And thinkin' I could bring them back again. Just maybe I could bring them back again. One more dance in the night One more chance to get it right One more grab at the brass ring that's fly - ing by One more toast to the mud in your eye. Yeah Comin' back for one more bite of the ap-ple. Taste is sweet. It's the nectar of life, And you know that it's right 'Cause you know you're not out there alone. I'll be back Be sittin' up high on the sad - dle. All I want Is to do it once more. Let me get through that door 'Cause I still do be - lieve that I can. Want that one more bite of the ap - ple And just the chance to taste it once again. Been a-round the world a time or two. Everywhere I've been I've thought of me and you. I was hop - in' you'd re-member how it used to be And may-be that you'd still remember me, And that ap-ple just as sweet as it could be. Reach right up and pick one off of that apple tree.
