I Could Be Singing Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Arlo Guthrie 

I could be singing forever 

I guess you could say I'm in love 

The universe is getting together 

You know that I can't say it enough 

You and your friends have a party 

Welcome your heavenly Dad 

Remember the guy by the water 

We seen walkin' round on the air 

He went and learned for a quarter 

He knew that you could see him there 

You take your friends to the ocean 

Walk on the sand if you can 

Spiro stepped out on the door step 

He spoke like he had something to say 

He said, "I don't want to hear anybody" 

I guess he's going to be that way 

Even all the elephants hear you, Spiro 

Would you beleive it at last? 

Nobody wants to be near you 

The new world is coming that fast 

They're beating on you in Chicago 

They're picking you up on the coast 

They're knocking you off in Ohio 

They like sending you to war the most 

When will you get it together 

Everybody in this land 

Helping out your brothers and sisters 

Everyone must understand 

I could be singing forever 

I guess you could say I'm in love 

The new world is coming together 

You know that I can't say it enough 

You and your friends have a party 

Welcome your heavenly Dad
