[Intro]
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I always thought
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I will see you again
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I always thought
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I will see you again
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
Now I've seen fire
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I've seen rain
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
Seen sunny days
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I thought would never end
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I always thought
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
Girl, I'll see you
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I always thought
[Verse 1]
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
Now I just can't remember who to send it to
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
Girl, I thought that I'd see you
Girl, I thought that I'd see you
Girl, I thought that I'd see you
[Verse 2]
So won't you like down on me, Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin', and my time is at hand
And I just can't make it any other way
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
Girl, I thought that I'd see you
I thought that I'd see you
I thought I'd see you, babe
[Verse 3]
Walking my mind back to easy times, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around
There's hours of time on the telephone line talking about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
[Chorus]
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
Oh, but I always thought that I'd see you again
[Refrain]
Girl, I thought I'd see you, babe
Thought that I'd see you
Thought I'd see you
[Outro]
I always thought
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
Girl, I'd see you again
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I've seen fire
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I've seen rain
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
Seen sunny days
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
I thought would never end
(Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you again)
