You had to be there
The sweetest moments
That I ever had
The most magic memories
That I recall
(When the man came out
And complained in the hall)
When I met you
When I met you
'You had to be there'
The darkest hour
That I ever lived
And the longest fall
That I ever fell
And the sun went in
And the night was hell
When you left me
When you left me
'You had to be there'
The sweetest thoughts
That I entertain
Are of happy days
That might come again
I don't know your face
I don't know your name
'Til we meet again
'You have to be there'
