Verse 1
It was last day in the month
I was callin’ my friends.
You know when you know
When I know how this ends.
Everyone’s answers
Had reasons to weigh.
But I jumped the gun
And I rested my case.
I’d rattled up strands
Of words for a while
But couldn’t get talkin’
For miles cuz…
Chorus
You just had to be there
To see with your eyes
I can’t dress it up
Like she was on that night.
A new shade o’ color
Came over the scene
Of the Earth and the moon
And the matter between.
If you’d been where I’d been
Then you’d feel the same.
And no there’s no point in me
Tryin’to explain.
Cuz you just had to be there.
Verse 2
We walked the bridge
Champagne, sun in the sky.
And I watched it set
In those cinnamon eyes.
I can’t take you there
I can’t put it in words
And you can’t get the picture
When the picture is her.
Chorus
Cuz you just had to be there
To see with your eyes
I can’t dress it up
Like she was on that night.
A new shade o’ color
Came over the scene
Of the Earth and the moon
And the matter between.
If you’d been where I’d been
Then you’d feel the same.
And no there’s no point in me
Tryin’to explain.
Cuz you just had to be there.
Bridge
Will the same things
You can’t forget
Are the same things
That can’t be said.
Chorus
Cuz you just had to be there
To see with your eyes
I can’t dress it up
Like she was on that night.
A new shade o’ color
Came over the scene
Of the Earth and the moon
And the matter between.
If you’d been where I’d been
Then you’d feel the same.
And no there’s no point in me
Tryin’to explain.
Cuz you just had to be there.
You just had to be there.
