Shilo Neil Diamond (#24 in 1970)

Young child with dreams, Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play, seems like you end up alone

Papa says he'd love to be with you, If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind
 
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name
When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came
And we'd play
 
Young girl with fire, Something said she understood
I wanted to fly, She made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me / Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile, She made me smile
 
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came, And you'd stay
 
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder, She had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand", I understand
 
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name
When no one else would come, Shilo, you always came
Come today
