You Should've Been There (Live)

You Should've Been There - Marshall Crenshaw

Written by：Marshall Crenshaw/Leroy 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

Waited there in the candlelight

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

You should've been there

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

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 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

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

You should've been there

Should've been there
