Money talks But it don’t sing and dance And it don’t walk And long as I can have you Here with me, I’d much rather be Forever in blue jeans
Honey’s sweet But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat And if you pardon me I’d like to say We’ll do okay Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight Maybe tonight, by the fire All alone you and I Nothing around But the sound of my heart And your sighs
Money talks But it can’t sing and dance And it can’t walk And long as I can have you Here with me, I’d much rather be Forever in blue jeans, babe
And honey’s sweet But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat And if you pardon me I’d like to say We’ll do okay Forever in blue jeans
Maybe tonight Maybe tonight, by the fire All alone you and I Nothing around But the sound of my heart And your sighs
Money talks But it can’t sing and dance And it can’t walk And long as I can have you Here with me I’d much rather be Forever in blue jeans
And if you pardon me I’d like to say We’ll do okay Forever in blue jeans, babe And long as I can have you Here with me I’d much rather be Forever in blue jeans, babe _____________________________ “Forever in Blue Jeans” is a song by Neil Diamond which was co-written with his guitarist Richard Bennett. This up-tempo track, released as a single by Columbia in February 1979, was taken from the previous year’s Neil Diamond album You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.
According to Cotton Incorporated “Neil Diamond might have been right when he named his 1979 #1 hit “Forever in Blue Jeans”: 81% of women are planning their next jeans purchase to be some shade of blue.” [1] The song, needless to say, has been used to promote the sale of blue jeans, most notably Will Ferrell, impersonating Neil Diamond singing, for The Gap.
You Don’t Bring Me Flowers is an album by Neil Diamond released in 1978 to capitalize on the success of the title song, a duet with Barbra Streisand, which had originally appeared as a solo recording on Diamond’s previous album, I’m Glad You’re Here With Me Tonight.
