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.
