Fire And Rain - James Taylor

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 cant remember who to send it to

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

Wont you look down upon me, Jesus?
Youve got to help me make a stand
Youve just got to see me through another day
My bodys aching and my time is at hand
And I wont make it any other way

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

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows itll turn your head around
Well, theres hours of time on the telephone line to 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
Ive seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Ive seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that Id see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought Id see you one more time again
Theres just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought Id see you, thought Id see you fire and rain, now

I first heared this song in the car with my father. And the 1st line made me think of my mother, i'm pretty sure it makes my dad think of my mom too. 9 years ago on April 28th, 2002 she passed away. Each time I listen to this song it makes me think about her.

I may not remember you mom, but I know your watching over us.

May you rest in peace.......

Thumbs up if you "Remember The Titans."

According to an urban legend, "Fire and Rain" deals with a girlfriend of Taylor's who died in a plane crash. In actuality, the "Suzanne" of the song was actually an acquaintance of Taylor's who committed suicide. The rest of "Fire and Rain" focuses on Taylor's efforts to kick his heroin addiction. "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 . . ."

This song was in Remember the Titans. It was in a pivotal moment in the movie where the football team had just won their big playoff game and then there was a sequence of events showing what the main characters were going thru, some bittersweet moments some of celebration.....then the team captain, was involved in a car crash that paralyzed him. if you've seen this movie you know exactly what i am referring to. also, at the time i was sick with cancer and this song just brings back memories
