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 much 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 . Yeah, 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’ . I couldn’t move, all I could do was stare.



I kept rememberin’ when we used to look like that .
Two people with so much to share . They were talkin’ and they were laughin’ .
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 .

Bridge: 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) .

Repeat Chorus
