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 wildfire
I was there I was there I was there I was there
When love came around I was there
And one thing certain I did all the hurtin'
At love's final curtain I was there
