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 holdin' 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 poundin'
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 nothin' left for you here (so I guess)
Chorus
I guess you had to be there
