You Shouldve Been There — текст песни (Marshall Crenshaw)

(m. crenshaw, l. preston)



You shouldve 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 shouldve 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 shouldve been there

Chorus:

Ran into some people we used to know

They were going somewhere I didnt want to go

So I kept on waiting for just a little bit more

Not getting anywhere...you shouldve 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 shouldve been there

You shouldve been there

Theres always so much to see in this old town

Dont you agree

But then again I never said Id be anywhere

You shouldve 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 shouldve been there

Chorus
