I Was There [*]

I was there (I was there)

I was there (I was there)

When love crashed and burned

I was there.

I was there when love came around

With sweet, warm kisses

I was there when it burned into desire

I was there when it ran into a raging river

And then turned into a runaway wildfire.

I was there (I was there)

I was there (I was there)

When love came around

I was there.

And one thing certain

I did all the hurtin'

At love's final curtain

I was there.

--- Instrumental ---

I was there when love came in

Like a living tornado

And I was there when it blew out of control

I was there when something quickly turned into nothing

Just a hopeless, helpless dream gone up in smoke.

I was there (I was there)

I was there (I was there)

When love came around

I was there.

And one thing certain

I did all the hurtin'

At love's final curtain

I was there.

I was there (I was there)

I was there (I was there)

When love came around

I was there.

And one thing certain

I did all the hurtin'

At love's final curtain

I was there.

I was there (I was there)

I was there (I was there)

When love came around

I was there.

And one thing certain

I did all the hurtin'...
