James Taylor - There We Are Lyrics






Listen to me and I'll sing you a song
and the time will go by till you never know where it's gone.
Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story.
Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory.
There we are walking hand in hand, somewhere on the sand
at the end of the land and the edge of the shining sea.

Drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball falling around the sun.
One in a million, billion twinkling lights shining out for no one in the middle of the night.
Here we are, sparks in the darkness, speaking of our love
burning down forever and forever.

Oh, I don't know if I told you, but you hold my heart in your hand.
And I found out something about you, baby, without you. I'm a lonely man.

So though I never say that I love you, I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you.
And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above,
you are my universe, you are my love.
Here we are, like children forever, taking care of one another
while the world goes on without us, all around us.

James Taylor There We Are Comments
  1. F.... C....

    I loved this Sony! This is the first time that I hear! I've repeated all day long ! JT is so romantic!

  2. S.... ....

    As an 18 year old heading into adulthood, this is the kind of love I hope to be able to share with whomever my future partner may be. This song is and always will be precious beyond words.

  3. L.... A....

    This is simply true love set to music.... ❤️

  4. A.... ....

    Made me cry back then for their love story..makes me still cry now 40 yrs later...JT said in interview..their marriage was premature..he wasnt ready to be a responsible husband then..and the drug addiction was in the way...they probably r soulmates or even twin flames ..learned from one another...moved on..after this worldly life will meet again..or may reincarnate to be together that way....he matured with others...and is happier now with 3 rd wife..the light of god shines in him..hes pisces. Too bad Carly had to lash out at him in her book. Listen all to his interview about Drugs, beatles..and Carly think it was 2009

  5. C.... W....

    Best song ever...I love this song

  6. M.... R....

    Val Garay= great engineer - Great artist and a great engineer = the art is here for as long as we are!

  7. A.... ....

    James Taylor sings so beautiful, It takes you back when life was so innocent . I wish James and Carly stayed together but James had some problems within himself but Carly still lives in there home Massachusetts but all things happen for reason and it was only for moment in time. James and Carly we love you.

  8. s.... p....

    Did Carly Simon write this with James? It sounds so much like her style.I used to love this album as a child.

    s.... p....

    shrimpton princess johnson it was written solely by JT, but Carly sang a few verses in one of the songs in the album. At the time, they were into their 6 yrs of marriage but divorced a year later after the album was released.

    s.... p....

    They had trouble by this point, but their marriage was from 1972 to 1983. This album was released in 1977.

  9. D.... Z....

    I just read that if, by some chance, Carly hears this song, she is "gone for the day". Just magic. I am convinced she still holds him in her heart.

  10. J.... P....

    James Taylor sang this song at a private dedication, he was so heart felt.

  11. M.... J....

    Please...would that we still write this way...xo

  12. L.... C....

    beautiful song

  13. K.... M....

    🎶oh I don't know if I told you, but you hold my heart in your hand 🎶🎶

  14. B.... C....

    Dedicated to my ex-boyfriend... I will always remember you with fondness. And I will always love you <3

  15. S.... T....

    I think he was touring and partying and living like a single man on the road and she stayed at home taking care of the family,he then saw her as a force that tried to "reign him in" and he couldnt handle it - She became like the "mother figure" ..not the exciting and sexy girlfriend anymore

    S.... T....

    Susan Thames You know nothing about their relationship. Don't insult Carly! She was always sexy to James Taylor - even after they got married and had kids. He had a jealous streak and might have cheated because he thought she cheated on him. Carly was gorgeous!

  16. W.... L....

    Read the posts about indiscretions. Live with someone suffering through depression and you will realize they "do" nothing. They simply put one foot in front of the other. Listen to "Another Grey Morning." Best description of depression I have ever heard. I have lived with someone with depression. Think of someone you love ...... then watch them implode on themselves.

  17. K.... C....

    I listened to this album over and over and over

    K.... C....

    Ken C me too!

    K.... C....

    Me too!

  18. C.... H....

    James wrote the best music when he was with Carly...my favorite part of the song is this....

    So though I never say that I love you,
    I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you.
    And though we are as nothing
    To the stars that shine above,
    You are my universe, you are my love.
    Here we are, like children forever,
    Taking care of one another
    While the world goes on without us,
    All around us.

    C.... H....

    i agree with cathi pominski those words were inspired in him out his love for Carly. back then. "you are my world you are my universe" wow stunning just stunningly gorgeous!

    C.... H....

    Cathi Hixson Pominski

    C.... H....

    Isn't that like 'stop in your tracks beautiful'. JT is very well loved and resptected, still underrated, dude is a killer musician.

    C.... H....

    Totally agree...my favorite part is.....drifting through time and space on the face of a little blue ball falling around the sun...one in a million,billion twinkling lights shining out to no one,in the middle of the night....amazing lyrics

  19. L.... S....

    Classic James Taylor... Such a heartwarming soulful sound.

  20. L.... A....

    Beautiful song for Carly Simon, but he cheated on her. Such a shame.

  22. B.... T....

    the best as always...

  23. A.... G....

    haunting...

  24. D.... M....

    What a fuckin shit song

    D.... M....

    +Dean Matthews .The shit is in your head.

    D.... M....

    shit heads don't appreciate love poetry that expands one's heart and mind. it takes a shit head to call someone's love song a shit one. Are you a prisoner in a penitentiary?

  25. I.... M....

    Thank you David....A beautiful love song from a wonderful man....

  26. R.... S....

    Too bad him and Carly couldnt have made thier marriage work.

  27. M.... D....

    This was the song that was sung as my bride-to-be walked down the aisle, looking more beautiful than ever, 30 years ago.

    M.... D....

    thank Val Garay also = he recorded this amazing stuff so well!

  28. e.... b....

    my one and only true love gave me this song It is the most beautiful love song ever.

  29. S.... T....

    simply gorgeous ~ touches my heart

  30. a.... ....

    My vinyl version is actually faster than this.

  31. R.... ....

    Absolute poetry.

  32. R.... M....

    Vinyl version is still the best. Your version is a little bit fast and you could have slowed it to match vinyl version. But thx for the upload. I appreciate it.

  33. T.... A....

    I bought this album in 1977 .. When I was 17 .. I loved it then and still do .. It's a timeless masterpiece .. This is a lovely love song for you .. But you do tell me you love me .. So I'm overjoyed .. And I love you back .. Forever xxxx
