00:00So this next song that we're going to do for you is a song that's very close to my heart because
00:07when I first came to Australia in 1970 this song was being played in my hometown which is Boston,
00:14Massachusetts and it was a huge hit and when I got to Sydney and I got to my apartment in Sydney
00:20I turned on the radio in my apartment and this same song was playing and I said to myself if
00:27ever I get a chance to record a song I would love to record this song. This song is written by one
00:35of the finest songwriters in the world, James Taylor. This is my rendition of Fire and Rain.
00:58Oh
01:09All right yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
01:19Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
01:24I walked out this morning and I, I wrote down a song, yeah, I just can't remember who to
01:37send it to.
01:40I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never
01:52end, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that
02:04I'd see you again.
02:12Please don't you look down upon me Jesus, I hope you don't make a stand, you just got
02:23to see me through another day, please.
02:29My body's aching and my time is near, ain't gonna make it in no other way.
02:45I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end,
02:57I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see
03:09you again.
03:17I've been walking my mind through an easy time and my back turns towards the sun, Lord
03:26knows when that cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
03:33Spend hours of time on the telephone line and talk, and talk about all the sweet dreams
03:42of flying machines and their pieces all over the ground.
03:49I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end,
04:02I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see
04:13you again.
04:16One more, one more time.
04:21One more time again.
04:24One more time again.
04:28Lord, I see you.
04:32Yes, I do.
04:35One more time.
04:37One more time again.
04:40Yes, I, yes, I do.
04:42One more time again.
04:44One more time again.
04:46Lord, I see you.
04:49Freedom.
04:51One more time again.
04:54One more time again.
04:57Yes, I do.
04:58One more time again.
05:02Fire and rain now.
05:24Thank you so very much.
05:31Thank you.
