I can do my best to tell you what it feels like in my skin
You can't really know unless you've gone where he's been
I can give you all the details but you'd never understand
What it means to let that go, slip right through your hands

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled
Or had to feel the passion running wild
Really know the woman and the child
I guess, you had to be there

'Til she stripped the layers off, seen into your soul
Watched her make a diamond of a worthless piece of coal
'Til you've held an angel then let her fly away
You won't ever understand, no matter what I say

I guess, you had to be there when she smiled
