Had To Be There

I could show you in a polaroid

I could play you all the songs we played

I could tell you how the sunset faded

Into one of them nights

I could tell you how my heart beat skipped

When he leaned in for the kiss

I could tell you everything you missed

But words can't do it right

You should've seen that night sky

Dancing in that moonlight

We had the time of our lives

Fireworks in the air

Sweet summer dreaming

Catching those feelings

I could give a million reasons

But I guess you had to be there

Oh, I guess you had to be there

It's a shame that you didn't show up

Maybe then it could've been us

Now it's just a chance you lost

Too late to get it back

And it's too bad about that because

You should've seen that night sky

Dancing in that moonlight

We had the time of our lives

Fireworks in the air

Sweet summer dreaming

Catching those feelings

I could give a million reasons

But I guess you had to be there

Oh, I guess you had to be there

If you had your shot

Made your move

You would've been there

You would've had my heart

That's the truth

It's you that would've been there

You should've seen that night sky

Dancing in that moonlight

We had the time of our lives

Love was in the air

Sweet summer dreaming

Catching those feelings

I could give a million reasons

But it's too bad you weren't there

So I guess you had to be there

To even take your shot

To even make your move

Yeah, you had to be there

You could've had my heart

You could've had my heart

Yeah, you had to be there
