The sweetest moments
That i ever had
The most magic memories
That i recall
(when the man came out
And complained in the hall)
When i met you
When i met you
Â'you had to be thereâ'
The darkest hour
That i ever lived
And the longest fall
That i ever fell
And the sun went in
And the night was hell
When you left me
When you left me
Â'you had to be thereâ'
The sweeteset thoughts
That i entertain
Are of happy days
That might come again
I donâ't know your face
I donâ't know your name
Till we meet again
Â'you had to be there
