by Richard Manuel and Rick Danko

I´ve told you once, now you should know
The reason that I´m coming down.
There ain´t no time to repeat again;

Just need to bring it around.

We had a beautiful thing going,
You couldn´t see things my way.
We had a beautiful thing going,
Something just got in our way.

And I told you once that it was rough.
I looked on you as my friend,
Because that did not seem to be good enough,
And now it´s time to begin.

We´ve got a beautiful thing going,
I hope that´s the way it will stay.
We´ve got a beautiful thing going,
Nothing can stand in our way.

Fourth Verse
