Neil Diamond
Red Rubber Ball

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this
And I learned it very well

And now I know
You're not the only starfish in the sea
And if I never hear your name again
Well, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball

You never cared
For secrets I'd confide
For you I'm just an ornament
Somethin' for your pride

Always runnin', never carin'
That's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time
Were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball
The story's in the past
With nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live
And I don't need you at all

The rollercoaster ride we took
Is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears
And that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball, whoa

I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball
