I Was There Songtext

von Buck Owens

I was there when love came around with sweet warm kisses
I was there when it burned into desire
I was there when it ran into a raging river
And then turned into a runaway wild fire.

I was there, I was there
When love came around, I was there
And one thing for certain
I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain, I was there.

I was there when love came in like a living tornado
I was there when it blew out of control
I was there when something quickly turned into nothing
Just a hopeless helpless dream gone up in smoke.

I was there, I was there
When love came around, I was there
And one thing for certain
I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain, I was there.

I was there, I was there
When love came around, I was there
And one thing for certain
I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain, I was there.

And one thing for certain
I did all the hurtin' at love's final curtain, I was there...
