words and Music by Arlo Guthrie Here I am Won't you take me in your arms tonight And there you are Looking like the stars are in your eyes Here we go You know it's been so long since we were lovers I don't know If I felt this way since then and baby why Why we said good-bye Why we sat and cried Why we ever let this happen to us I don't care Where you've been, I've been there too You know that You and me We had some growing on our own to do now Let's get on You know the time's a-wasting Morning's breaking Here we are Looking like we used to be and baby why Why we said good-bye Why we sat and cried Why we ever let this happen to us There's a bird flying high Way up in the air And I am sitting here with you at my side Way out in the country There's a lot of real big trees Rolling gently on the breeze And I am playing with the bumble bees Out in the country Puffy clouds are in the air If it rains well we won't care 'Cause you look good in your underwear Way out in the country Here I am Let me take you in my arms and hold you Once again It feels like we are coming home and well Remember when We were young and so in love together Here we are Happy like we used to be, and baby why Why we said good-bye Why we stood and cried Why we ever let this this happen to us You know the time is at an end And you and I can just be friends And if we let this moment pass I think we both know it won't come again
