LYRICS Just yesterday morning They let me know you were gone Suzanne, the plans we made put an end to you I walked out this morning And I wrote down this song Just can’t remember who to send it to I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I’d see you again Won’t you look down on me, Jesus You’ve got to help me to 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 Oh, I have seen fire and I’ve seen rain I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I’d see you again So I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time My back turned towards the sun Lord knows the cold wind blows It’ll turn your head around Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line Talkin’ about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I have seen fire and I’ve seen rain I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I’d see you somehow one more time again Thought I’d see you one more time again There’s just a few things coming my way this time around Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you, fire and rain Thought I’d see you just one more time, Suzanne #JamesTaylor #JT #FireAndRain 🎵 NEW ALBUM 🎵 https://found.ee/JTAmericanStandard 🌟 FOLLOW JAMES ON SOCIAL 🌟 https://www.facebook.com/JamesTaylor/ https://www.instagram.com/jamestaylor_com/ https://twitter.com/jamestaylor_com 🌐 VISIT THE WEBSITE 🌐 https://www.jamestaylor.com/ ✉️ JOIN THE MAILING LIST ✉️ https://www.jamestaylor.com/mailinglist/ 🎸 FREE GUITAR LESSONS BY JAMES 🎸 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4C7B31793C012820
