You Had To Be There Lyrics - Chad Brock

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

You can't really know unless you've gone where he's been 

I can give you all the details but you'd never understand 

What it means to let that go, slip right through your hands 

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled 

Or had to feel the passion running wild 

Really know the woman and the child 

I guess, you had to be there 

'Til she stripped the layers off, seen into your soul 

Watched her make a diamond of a worthless piece of coal 

'Til you've held an angel then let her fly away 

You won't ever understand, no matter what I say 

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled 

Or had to feel the passion running wild 

Really know the woman and the child 

I guess, you had to be there 

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled 

Or had to feel the passion running wild 

Really know the woman and the child 

I guess, you had to be there 

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled 

Or had to feel the passion running wild 

'Til you walked in my shoes for a while 

I guess, you had to be there 

I guess, you had to be there 

I guess, you had to be there
