Fire And Rain

[originally by James Taylor]
Yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Looks like the plans we made put an end to you
Walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
Just can't remember where 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
Oh, But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you look down on me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
Just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
Oh, oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again, yeah
I've been walking my mind to an easy time
Back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows turns you head around
Spend hours of time on the telephone line talking about things to come
But all dreams and flying machine fell to pieces on the ground
Ooaaawwwh, 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 that I'd see you, again, yeah ooh
Oh no no, no ooohhhh ooohhh oh yeah
I've been walking my mind to an easy time
Back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows turns you head around, yeah
Spend hours of time on the telephone line talking about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines fell to pieces on the ground
Ooaaawwwh
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain, oohhh
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end, oh no
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend no, oh
But I always thought that I'd see you again,
I thought I'd see you once again
Oh, again again
Oh, again again
See you
Again again
Again again
Oohhh
Again again
Again again
Oohhh
See you
Again again
See you
Ooh yeah
Again again
Again again

Again again

Again again
See you
Again again

Fire And Rain - Babyface
As a foundational figure in contemporary R&B, Babyface crafted 'Fire And Rain' as a poignant exploration of heartbreak and resilience. The track exemplifies his signature blend of soulful melodies and introspective lyricism, characteristic of the late 1980s and early 1990s era. While often associated with his work on The Day, the song stands as a testament to his ability to weave personal narrative into universal themes of emotional turbulence. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic emotional core and the polished production that defined the sound of the period, cementing Babyface's status as a pivotal artist in modern music history.
