More quotes by Harry Chapin
Short stories that's all it's ever been Don't you worry 'bout the ending Babe, before we begin I have seen the sun That's behind the rain I have felt the joy That's behind the pain.
Harry Chapin
Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle And she was the moon shining back his light a little He was a shooting star She was softer and more slowly He could not make things possible But, she could make them holy.
Harry Chapin
The reason I fight for the arts as well as against hunger is because the arts are the qualitative way, are the effective way, are the traditional way we learn to make value decisions about who and what we are.
Harry Chapin
When in doubt, do something.
Harry Chapin
If a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died, what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world?
Harry Chapin
No straight lines make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear-cut beginnings And so far no dead-ends.
Harry Chapin
You see, I have no real complaints of how you've left your past behind I guess what gets me worried is you've erased him from your mind.
Harry Chapin
Good dreams don't come cheap You've got to pay for them.
Harry Chapin
The major thing I'm afraid of is being 65 and saying, 'Gee, I wish I had done this and that, and that.' I want to face old age knowing I've tried all I wanted to try.
Harry Chapin
I come fresh from the street, fast on my feet, kind a lean and lazy not much meat on my bones, and a whole lot alone, and more than a little bit crazy. The old six string was all I had to keep my belly still, and for each full hour lesson I gave I got a crisp ten dollar bill.
Harry Chapin
She sings the songs without words Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard She knows more of love than the poets can say And her eyes are for something that won't go away.
Harry Chapin
All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown Moon rolls thru the nighttime Till the daybreak comes around.
Harry Chapin
I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing.
Harry Chapin
Reality is only just a word.
Harry Chapin
I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
Harry Chapin
I found you a thousand times I guess you done the same But then we lose each other It's like a children's game As I find you here again A thought runs through my mind Our love is like a circle Let's go 'round one more time.
Harry Chapin
The reason nobody else in my business has any impact is because they're all comatose.
Harry Chapin
And I know you're frightened By my laughter But you're not afraid To hold my pain You see I'm never sure Just what you're after, Babe But it seems you only love me When it rains. How come you only love me when it rains?
Harry Chapin
It's got to be the going, not the getting there, that's good.
Harry Chapin
You know I need a dream Like I need my breath We need to take the life Before we get the death You know I need your love Like I need the light Yes I need the chance Can it be tonight?
Harry Chapin
