I Have Seen the Rain (feat. James T. Moore)

This next song is called I have seen the rain

And it was written by my daddy, mister Jim Moore

Uh, he wrote it back in Vietnam about forty years ago

And I grew up singing it with him at different Vietnam vet functions

That's how I learned to harmonize and how to love an acoustic guitar

And the way we recorded it, that was my dad's first time

In a recording studio and he always said singers don't

Really have to work too hard and he changed his mind that day

Um, but we did it live, him and I in the vocal booth together

Him playin' and singin' and me harmonizing

One take straight through, um, that was really, really a good time

It was really special to be able to record a song with my dad

The first song I ever learned, um, we hope you like it

And we dedicate it to all the vets out there

I have seen the rain

I have felt the pain

I don't know where I'll be tomorrow

I don't know where I'm going

I don't even know where I've been

But I know I'd like to see them again

Spend my days just searching

Spend my nights in dreams

Stop looking over my shoulder, baby

I stopped wondering what it means

Drop out, burn out, sold your home

Oh, they said I should've been more

Probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy damn Vietnam war

I have seen the rain

I've survived the pain

Oh, I've been home thirty years or so

And I'm just stepping off of the plane

Spend my days just searching

Spend my nights in dreams

Stop looking over my shoulder, baby

I stopped wondering what it means

Drop out, burn out, sold your home

Oh, they said I should've been more

Probably so if I hadn't been in that crazy damn Vietnam war

We have seen the rain together

W survived the pain forever

Oh, it's good to be home again

It's good to be with my friends

Oh, it's good to be home again

It's good to feel that rain
