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 cafe

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 e plain

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 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

well i guess you had to be there

you really had to be there

some things you just can't e plain

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 nothin'left for you here

so i guess you had to be there

you really had to be there

some things you just can't e plain

it's just not the same

i guess you had to be there

i guess you had to be there
