I Could Be Singing Lyrics

words and music by Arlo GuthrieI 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 DadRemember 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 canSpiro 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 wayEven all the elephants hear you, Spiro
Would you beleive it at last?
Nobody wants to be near you
The new world is coming that fastThey'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 mostWhen will you get it together
Everybody in this land
Helping out your brothers and sisters
Everyone must understandI 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
