Sammi Smith – Fire And Rain lyrics

(James Taylor)

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
And baby the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just couldn't remember who to send it to.

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again.

Won't you look down upon me Jesus you gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way.

And I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again.

Been working my mind through an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Ours was the time on the telephone lines to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines and pieces on the ground.

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby one more time again
One more time one more time one more time...
