Song Lyrics

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Poems, Prayers & Promises album, and has also been released on the Changes and Reflections: Songs of Love and Life albums.


Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I woke up this morning and wrote down this song
I just can`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
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought I`d see you again

Won`t you look down upon me Jesus you got to help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body`s aching, my time is at hand
I just can`t make it any other way

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

I`ve been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned t`wards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head around
There`s hours of time on the telephone line they`ll talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

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