James Taylor
I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again.
James Taylor

James Taylor
It's a real wrenching thing to go from being a private person to being a public person, especially when you're being autobiographical.
James Taylor
