There We Are
James Taylor Lyrics

Listen to me and I'll sing you a song
I have something to say and I'll express it the best way I know how - through music.

And the time will go by
My music can transport you and before you know it, time has passed.

Till you never know where it's gone.
Time is fleeting and it's easy to lose track of it.

Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story.
I'm willing to open up and share my life with you.

Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory.
If you join me on my journey, I'll paint a picture of my future aspirations.

There we are walking hand in hand,
Together, we're moving forward through life with a sense of unity.

Somewhere on the sand
We could be anywhere - a literal place or a metaphorical one for our shared experiences.

At the end of the land
We've reached a point of finality or conclusion, but it's not necessarily a negative thing.

And the edge of the shining sea.
We're on the brink of something new and endless possibilities are ahead.

Drifting through time and space
We're moving through life with a sense of fluidity and unpredictability.

On the face of a little blue ball
Despite the vastness of the universe, we're all on this planet together and share a common experience.

Falling around the sun.
We're tethered to the forces of nature that guide our existence.

One in a million, billion twinkling lights
We're each unique and special, just like the countless stars in the sky.

Shining out for no one in the middle of the night.
Even when we feel alone in the dark, we're still important and have a light to share.

Here we are, sparks in the darkness,
We're shining bright even when it feels like the world around us is dim.

Speaking of our love
Our connection and support for one another is a powerful force.

Burning down forever and forever.
Our love is eternal and will continue to thrive through any challenge.

Oh, I don't know if I told you,
I might not always explicitly say it, but my love for you is still present.

But you hold my heart in your hand.
You have the power to affect me deeply because my feelings for you are so strong.

And I found out something about you, baby,
I'm continually learning more about you and growing in appreciation for who you are.

Without you.
Being away from you would be an incomplete and lonely existence.

I'm a lonely man.
You bring joy and fulfillment to my life in a way that nobody else can.

So though I never say that I love you,
I might not say it verbally, but my actions and thoughts demonstrate my love.

I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you.
You mean the world to me and I want to make sure you know how much I care.

And though we are as nothing
In the grand scheme of things, we might not mean much, but our love is still significant.

To the stars that shine above,
We're one tiny part of a vast and beautiful universe.

You are my universe, you are my love.
Despite the enormity of the world, you are the most important thing in my life.

Here we are, like children forever,
We're so comfortable and happy around each other that we feel like carefree children.

Taking care of one another
We're always looking out for each other's best interests and supporting each other.

While the world goes on without us,
No matter what happens around us, we have each other and that's all that matters.

All around us.
We're still noticing the beauty and complexity of our surroundings, it's just not as important as our connection.
