You Had To Be There

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
