Blue Destiny
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



Once you were mine, and you wanted the whole world to know
Now ev’rytime I’m around, you’ve got somewhere to go
I ask my heart ev’ry day
“Can there be some other way?”
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?

First, you decide that our love will always be true
Next thing I know, you’re running with somebody new
Once you were mine alone
Now you’re just someone I’ve known
Tell me, what can I do to change my blue destiny?

And there were times when love was new
And both our hearts were gay
But now the signs say we’re through and
Bound for separate ways
And how can you love when your love doesn’t want you at all?
Girl, when you turn me away, got my back to the wall

Still, I forgive all your lies, ‘cause darlin’, I realize
That it’s you, only you, can change my blue destiny
Baby, you, only you, can change my blue destiny
