I wish that I could tell you what it means to know her love But I can't find the words to say how beautiful she was And I just can't describe the way you'd feel wrapped in her arms Resting in her love safe and warm
I guess you had to be there to understand The kind of love I let slip through my hands She was like an angel, a love so rare But words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there
I'm drinking to remember, I don't want to forget And it's working pretty good so far, I ain't lost one memory yet But I know you can't imagine what my old heart's been going through You couldn't know unless you'd lost her too
I guess you had to be there to understand The kind of love I let slip through my hands She was like an angel, a love so rare But words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there No words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there
