Do you know everybody's
Got their own way of doing anything
I'd like you to take this particular song for instance
It's been done by many
But I've got to do it my own way
It says simply mmmmmmm
Just yesterday morning, did I ever know you were gone
Suzanne abandoned me, put an end to you
I woke up this morning - oh, I wrote down this song
But I can't remember - who to send it to...oh, oh
I've seen fire, Lord, I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days, well, it would never end
I know I've seen lonely times
When I could not find a friend
But in my mind, I always thought - I see you again
Again, see you again
Oh, won't you look down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
Just got to see me through another day, another day
My body's aching, but I realize that my time is ahead
And I don't believe I can make it
No, I'm away, that what I said
I've seen fire, I've seen fire
Lord knows I've seen rain
Those lonely days that I thought would never end
Well, well, well
I know, I've seen lonely times
When I could not find a friend
But I thought I'd always, always
See you again, see you again
Open my mind to an easy time
My back turns toward the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
Turn your head around
Well there's always time for all the telephone lines
Talking about things to come
But sweet dreams, fire machines
Keeps us all off the ground, oh, oh, oh
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, oh, oh
There's been lonely times
When I could not find a friend, yeah, oh
But I still come right in
Simply because I thought I'd always see you again
Again, again
I want to see you again
See you
I've made up my mind that I would see you
Ha, listen to me now, well
Something I want for my own
My pillow's wet with tears... me all alone
You got to be the greatest of them all
Ha, I thought I'd see you again, see you again
Oh, see you again - I'Il see again
I'm gonna follow you - got to keep on loving
