Brian Wilson - Guess You Had to Be There

Well, I guess you had to be there
Such a different place
I was cruising along
Never thinking that we'd ever change

Yeah, I guess you had to be there
It was a hell of a ride
Lines were blurried and hurried
But it felt like the stars had aligned

We were sharing a new day
Singing a new song
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly gone

Everything I ever wanted
Is right before my face
And all the beautiful people
Were always at my place

Well, I guess you had to be there
All we wanted was more
There were winners and losers
And people passed out on my floor

And you know you should've called me
For that real good time
Guess you missed some of the gold
When you're too busy chasing the shine

We were sharing a new day
Singing a new song
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly gone

Everything I ever wanted
Was right in front of my face
'Cause all the beautiful people
Were always at my place

We were sharing an new day
Sipping on a new wine
And everyone's problems
Were suddenly mine

When all you ever wanted
Is right in front of your face
It starts as a good thing
Turns into a headache
