Fire and Rain
Bobby Cruz Lyrics

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Recently, I received the news that you had passed away

Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
The plans that Suzanne made resulted in your demise

I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
This morning, I went outside and composed this song

I just can't remember who to send it to
However, I cannot recall who should receive it

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Throughout my life, I have witnessed both destructive events and difficult times

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
There have been joyful periods that seemed eternal

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
I have experienced moments of solitude and felt unable to find companionship

But I always thought that I'd see you again
Nonetheless, I believed I would have the opportunity to see you once more

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
Jesus, could you please watch over me from above

You've got to help me make a stand
I implore you to assist me in taking a firm position

You've just got to see me through another day
All I ask is for you to guide me through yet another day

My body's aching and my time is at hand
My physical condition is causing me pain, and I sense that my time is running out

I won't make it any other way
I cannot endure this situation using any alternative method

Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
I have been daydreaming about a carefree period, with my back facing the sunlight

Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
The cold gusts of wind can drastically change one's perspective

Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
There are numerous hours spent on the phone discussing future matters

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Dreams and aspirations have been shattered and lie scattered on the ground

Thought I'd see you one more time again
I had hoped for another opportunity to see you once more

There's just a few things coming my way this time around now
Currently, only a few positive events are occurring in my life

Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now
I believed I would encounter you, and I anticipated experiencing both pleasure and hardship

Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na
