You Had To Be There Lyrics

You Had To Be There lyrics

I can do my best to tell you what it feels like in my skin

But you can't
really know a man till you've gone where he's been

I could give you all the
details, but you'd never understand

What it means to let that woman slip
right through your hands



I guess you had to be there when she
smiled

Had to feel the passion running wild

To really know the woman
and the child

I guess you had to be there



Until she's stripped the
layers off and seen into your soul

Till you've watched her make a diamond
from a worthless piece of coal

Till you've held an angel and let her fly
away

You won't ever understand no matter what I say



I guess you
had to be there when she smiled

Had to feel the passion running wild

To
really know the woman and the child

I guess you had to be there



I
guess you had to be there when she smiled

Had to feel the passion running
wild

Till you've walked in my shoes for a mile

I guess you had to be
there

I guess you had to be there

I guess you had to be there
