Lyrics

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

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 again

Won't you look down upon me Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've 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'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 again

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
One more time baby again
