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 handsI 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 thereI 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 thereI guess, you had to be there
I guess, you had to be there
