LYRICS
That's Why I'm Here by Shaye Smith & Mark Springer
Person to person
And man to man
I'm back in touch with my long lost friend
Listen to reason
And understand
And think of me from way back when
He said, "Me and Melissa
Well, we fell out of love
Ran out of luck
Seems like lightning struck
I've been thinkin' of leavin'
But I can't raise a buck
James, I'm wondering, could I borrow your truck?"
I said, "That's why I'm here" (that's why I'm here)
Got no better reason
That's why I'm standing before you (that's why I'm here)
That's why I'm here
John's gone found dead
He dies high he's brown bread
Later said to have drowned in his bed
After the laughter
The wave of the dread
It hits us like a ton of lead
It seems "learn not to burn"
Means to turn on a dime
Walk on if you're walking
Even if it's an uphill climb
Try to remember that
That working's no crime
Just don't let 'em take
And waste your time
That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
There'll be no more messes tonight
That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
Whoa, that's why I'm here
This is an I.O.U
I reckon I owe you one now
Listen Wendy and listen Gloria
This'll be better tomorrow
Oh, fortune and fame's such a curious game
Perfect strangers
Can call you by name
And pay good money to hear "Fire And Rain"
Again and again and again
Oh, some are like summer
Coming back every year
Got your baby, got your blanket
Got your bucket of beer
I break into a grin
From ear to ear
And suddenly it's perfectly clear
That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
Singing tonight, tomorrow
And every day
That's why standin' (that's why I'm here)
Whoa, that's why I'm here
This is the part about Kitty and Bim
He loved her
And she loved him
Wake 'em up, shake 'em up
The middle of the night
You got to tell me everything's all right
I said that's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
You got me walkin' and talkin' like a natural man
That's why I'm here (that's why I'm here)
That's why I'm here
That's right

Most of JT’s music has a story ! The music is magical , lyrics , and voice . Love it - always !
Love this! James’ music is timeless- it works in any era!
Same as it ever was- Thank you again for being you, my friend ❤
Thank you James for sharing your music! I've been a lifelong fan!
OMG - I'm used to seeing "younger" James - but what a treat to see young & trim Arnold & Rosemary!
Always great to see/hear the Late Great Carlos Vega on Drums , best drummer ever , so smooth , so clean , just perfect 🥁
Before I saw the lineup, I thought it was probably Russ Kunkel who was a great studio drummer.
I really like this upbeat song & of course James singing it ! ❤ There's just something about you, Baby !
What a voice. And you can't go wrong with Billy Payne on keyboards.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏👏
The blueprint
Doesn't get better than Lee on bass.
Sa ngalan ng sambayanang Pilipino. Mabuhay JT! ❤️🇵🇭
Somos felices!
There is something very special about your voice, James. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Be well. 💜
Cheray and her right hand @ work Sam enjoying@ work❤😂❤🎉🎉 \😂/ \😂/ That's why we're here. Making patient's lives better. TY JT.
What memories. I saw James do this song live as well. And he just gets better and better and better.
This was my first exposure to James's music, I've watched it on video many times.
LOVE James Taylor
One of my favorite songs of his. Still rocking after all these years too. I wish and Carly could have done an album together. ❤❤
I was a freshman in college; homesick and confused about everything. University of Illinois, 1971...my very wise sister gave me a ticket to JT concert at the Assembly Hall...my first concert ever. That night changed my life. THANK YOU.
Sempre un piacere ascoltarla Maestro🥰
I love James Taylor! He is my favorite song writer and singer, has been for 45 years and still counting ❤❤
Lee Sklar keeps turning up in other bands and i cannot figure out how he has the time!
Lee!
Carlos V RIP
Is there an inside joke with Rosie and Lee he turned around they were kind of grinning afterwards
Lee Sklar on bass!! One of the best
No shots of Carlos. Too bad.
Just love this, just love the special voice of James Taylor ❤❤❤❤
Smooth as silk❤
Hello😊😊😊
This CD was what led me to become a real fan. We brought a dozen people up from Hyannis to Great Woods the summer of 1986 - first of many times I saw James. I wore that CD out.
🙏👏👏👏🙏

Love how he mentioned " Fire and rain"😊
Love your lyrics, and your guitar picking is mastery, your sensational James!
This and Copper Line are my favorites! ❤🎉

#JamesTaylor
Right there as always with some of the best music ever
Thank you. Lol friendship forever
Playing Fire and Rain again and again isn’t the only reason you’re here 😊
Thank ya James ✌️❤️
Wonderful!
Show!
Classic. And Bill Payne on keys. Had no idea he played with JT.
Wonderful news. Just as it should be. Stay safe. 👍💗💙💙
It's a priceless penny cost to hear someone strum out your life's loss.. Fire and rain heal the pain of copper snakes and Big mistakes. Visions of blurred blues and deep greens thru tears that sparkle on fresh powdered snow... If I could be anywhere, it would be in your arms up on a roof... That's where I belong. That's why I'm here waiting for destiny and a "dance" (-Garth Brooks) To complete a mission ✝️🌊🕊️... It's my last chance🥀🦋🤿🦅🤩🌌🌠 I will wait on the Lord.
A song I was not so aware of and I am really into it now. After the years pass, and wife passed, and children grown older and children of their own and spread to different parts of the world, makes me feel this song more.
TY(Song Writer's) & TY James !
Love your music and songs !
And , That's Why I'm Hear!!
🙏🫶🤗🎸🤠
