I Was There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was there when love came around with sweet warm kisses
I was there when it burned into desire
I was there when it ran into a raging river and then turned into a runaway wild fire
I was there I was there when love came around I was there
And one thing for certain I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain I was there
I was there when love came in like a living tornado
I was there when it blew out of control
I was there when something quickly turned into nothing
Just a hopeless helpless dream gone up in smoke
I was there...
I was there...
And one thing for certain I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain I was there
