Guess the title

I know that's one theory. Neil Diamond himself doesn't seem to be too sure about what inspired the song. Who knows what state his mind was in when he wrote it? He's said it was inspired by his wife, who was named Marcia, except her name didn't have enough syllables, and he said (many years later) that it was inspired by an early picture of Caroline Kennedy that he saw in a magazine, and he even said God had something to do with inspiring it.

Whatever it originally meant, it's a great song. I love the way the audience always sings along.
