"Lovescape" is the nineteenth studio album by Neil Diamond released Aug 27, 1991 on the BMG (distributor) label. . It peaked at #44 on the Billboard 200. "Hooked on the Memory of You" was a duet with Kim Carnes, while "Don't Turn Around" was co-written by legendary songwriter Diane Warren (who was ruling the charts at the time).
Lovescape uses a variety of producers, like Diamond's fellow singer-songwriter Albert Hammond, the talented Don Was, and Diamond himself, to craft its multi-faceted message.
Love is found ("Someone Who Believes in You"), treasured ("All I Really Need Is You"), and lost ("Hooked on the Memory of You"), over the course of this 15-song cycle.

After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn't find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here's what I conclude
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
You don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don't you know it's true
All I really need is you
How was I to know
We'd have ended here
Where we finally did
You tied your life to mine
Once upon a starry night
And when someone asks for me
What it is that I believe
Say, I believe it's true
All I really need is you
Just say what you want to say
We don't have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I've tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Tryin' but in vain to tell you
Feelings come and go
Me, I'm never gonna ever let you go
Promise you I'm gonna always love you so
Cause all I really need is you...
