Person to person
And man to man
I'm back in touch
With my long lost friendListen to reason
And understand
And think of me
From way back whenHe said me and Melissa
Well, we fell out of love
Ran out of luck
Seems like lightning struckI've been thinkin' of leavin'
But I can't raise a buck
James, I'm wondering
Could I borrow your truck
I said that's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
Got no better reason
That's why I'm standing before you
(That's why I'm here)
That's why I'm hereJohn's gone found dead
He dies high he's brown bread
Later said to have
Drowned in his bedAfter the laughter
The wave of the dread
It hits us like a ton of leadIt seems "learn not to burn"
Means turn on a dime
Walk on if you're walking
Even if it's an uphill climb
Try to remember that
Working's no crime
Just don't let 'em take
And waste your timeThat's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
There'll be no more messes tonight
That's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
Whoa, that's why I'm hereThis is an I.O.U.
I reckon I owe you one now
Listen Wendy and listen Gloria
This'll be better tomorrowOh, fortune and fame's
Such a curious game
Perfect strangers
Can call you by nameAnd pay good money to hear
"Fire And Rain"
Again and again and againOh, some are like summer
Coming back every year
Got your baby, got your blanket
Got your bucket of beerI break into a grin
From ear to ear
And suddenly
It's perfectly clearThat's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
Singing tonight, tomorrow
And every day
That's why standin'
(That's why I'm here)
Whoa, that's why I'm hereThis is the part
About Kitty and Bim
He loved her
And she loved himWake 'em up, shake 'em up
The middle of the night
You got to tell me
Everything's all rightI said that's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
You got me walkin' and
Talkin' like a natural man
That's why I'm here
(That's why I'm here)
Whoa, that's why I'm hereThat's right
