I Guess You Had to Be There

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

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?

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

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

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

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

And as I watched you with your new love

I haven't seen 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

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

I guess you had to be there
