(m. crenshaw, l. preston)



You should've been there as the sun went down

Colors ran all across the ground

Then a thousand stars were spinning all around

Do you care...you should've been there

I saved you place right by my side

And waited there in the candlelight

But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair

You should've been there

Chorus:

Ran into some people we used to know

They were going somewhere i didn't want to go

So i kept on waiting for just a little bit more

Not getting anywhere...you should've been there

Then i thought i saw you walking by into town

Into the crowd i went chasing you down

When i grabbed your arm...she spun around

A stranger glared...you should've been there

You should've been there

There's always so much to see in this old town

Don't you agree

But then again i never said i'd be anywhere

You should've been there

I saved you a place right by my side

And waited there in the candlelight

But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair

You should've been there

Chorus
