You and I Again
by James Taylor
Album: Before This World (2015)
You and I again, these days go by
And I wish that I could slow the whole thing down
And have it back again, just one more time
Then again, maybe we can, 'cause I can't escape this feeling
That we've been this way together, you and I
There you are again, I climbed so high
High enough to finally see your sign
Shining in the distance
You were tending your own fire
We were biding our time
We were both waiting for the moment
When our paths would come together, you and I
I see how fierce you are
Whenever the world would drag us down
How serious you are
Standing on holy ground
And so although I know we're only small
In the time we have here
Surely, we have it all
Whenever this world would drag us down
This time we got it all
You and I again Writer/s: James Taylor
