Marshall Crenshaw - You Should've Been There lyrics

(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
