When I Meet Them
(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals & Dash Crofts, 1972)
From the albums YEAR OF SUNDAY (1972) and GREATEST HITS (1975).
I want to see everybody singing, everybody laughing,
Everybody happy, everybody down home
When I meet them, when I meet them. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
I want to see everybody holding hands, everybody groovin',
Every sun a-shinin', everybody down home
When I meet them, when I meet them. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
In this tiny little world, people's all we got.
Have we forgotten, have we forgotten how to love, how to love?

When I meet them, when I meet them. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
When I meet them, when I meet them. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
