Richard Landis - I Guess You Had to Be There lyrics

[Verse 1] Hello honey, how was your day Well you're sure in a good mood tonight Oh by the way, I was downtown this afternoon And I saw the most amazing sight [Verse 2] Through the window of a small café I saw a man and a woman holding hands And they looked so in love, it took my breath away Can't you see it, don't you understand [Chorus] Well I guess you had to be there You really had to be there Some things you just can't explain It's just not the same I guess you had to be there [Verse 3] I just stood there, my heart pounding I couldn't move, all I could do was stare I kept remembering when we used to look like that Two people with so much to share [Verse 4] They were talking and they were laughing Just like we used to do every day And then he kissed her so tenderly What's the matter, you don't have much to say [Chorus] Well I guess you had to be there You really had to be there Some things you just can't explain It's just not the same I guess you had to be there [Verse 5] And as I watched you with your new love I haven't see you that happy in years We've drifted so far apart and it's hard to admit it But there's nothing left for you here [Chorus] So I guess you had to be there You really had to be there Some things you just can't explain It's just not the same I guess you had to be there [Tag] I guess you had to be there
