"There you stand in your dungarees

Looking all grown up and so very pleased

When you write your poems they have so much to say

When you speak your dreams it takes my breath away

You know I want to be a ball player

A regular slugging fool

But both our dreams must wait awhile

Until we finish school

And so you and I

We'll watch our years go by

We'll watch our sweet dreams fly

Far away, but maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time just drifts away

There you stand in your wedding dress

You're so beautiful that I must confess

I'm so proud you have chosen me

When a doctor is what you want to be

You know I want to be a painter, girl

A real artistic snob

But I guess we'll have our children first

You'll make a home, I'll get a job

Listen to the seasons passing

Listen to the wind blow

Listen to the children laughing

Where do broken dreams go?

There you stand in your tailored suit

So many years gone by, but your're still so cute

We take the car to go and meet the bus

When our grandchildren come to visit us

You say you should have been a ballerina, babe

There are songs I should have sung

But I guess our dreams have come and gone

You gotta dream when you are young

And so you and I

We'll watch our years go by

We'll watch our sweet dreams fly

Far away, but maybe someday

I don't know when

But we will dream again

And we'll be happy then

Till our time just drifts away"

This is the album I had Harry autograph when I met him at a mall in Flint, Michigan in the late 1970s. I still have it. I first saw him perform at a World Hunger concert at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Along with Harry were John Denver and Gordon Lightfoot plus a "special surprise guest" which turned out to be James Taylor. I also saw him perform at Rochester, Michigan, and at Lansing. At Rochester he sang a lot of his songs from 'Dance Band on the Titanic'. He performed solo at Lansing because his band was snow bound at Valparaiso but he still managed to blow the roof off the joint. It was the first time I heard him sing "Circle." What a song! The last Chapin concert I attended was in Orlando, FL. It wasn't long after that he was killed. Way back when I had a cassette of the now hard-to-find 'Legends of the Lost and Found' but my toddler daughter found it and pulled all the tape out of it.

That line "there are songs I should have sung" gets me every time... I wish we could have heard those songs. I am 18 years old and I grew up on Harry Chapin, it started with my grandma, then my mom and now me... And I certainly won't be the last. <3

I will never forget the first time I heard cats in the cradle and I want to write a love song, my heart just burst, it was an amazin feeling to hear this man singing stories not just songs! I still listening to him today and my 15yr old autistic son loves his voice!

The best live act I ever saw. So sad that he left us so soon . . ..as so many of the gifted do.

I agree whole-heartedly. I make very few exceptions on live songs Harry Chapin, Garth Brooks, and a few you wouldn't recognize... Just because the live is so much more than the canned

I've been playing guitar and singing most of my life, and whenever I pick up my guitar, I'll always start with some of Harry's best music. Everyone I play for, always wants more. And why not, his writing was genius. The passion and experience is what makes him one of the best ever. Heaven is a better place with Harry in it. All our lifes a circle indeed!

I agree with you 100% Live audiences made Harry's songs so much better, I saw him 6 times from 1977-1981
