Neil Diamond - A Modern Day Version of Love lyrics

And the night was filled with laughter Echoing through painted smiles And I knew each morning after I never loved , was never touched Gave not at all, got back as much In the comfort of A modern day version of love Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste Of lips that ask so much of me Still I wonder with every embrace Could I give and not break Should I care and forsake All the comfort of A modern day version of love Close my eyes and keep on runnin' Realize it isn't gonna work anymore For me, yeah I'm afraid for maybe that somethin' Never cared enough to be afraid Of anything Before, not before Barefoot child on streets of cinder Sleeping child the morning calls Pray for spring but face the winter Take the hand, taste the kiss Leave behind the emptiness And the comfort of A modern day version of love
