paroles de chanson You Had To Be There - Steve Lawrence

You can say I′m lazy, slowly goin' crazy
Longin′ for a taste of New York air
But what's the since of talking, wastin' my breath
Cause I guess that you just had to be there

When all the candy was a nickel, people weren′t fickel
No one had a dime, but did they care
Talk about the good times, they were the best
But I guess that you just had to be there

A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminisin′
NYC is you I'm missin′

Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I′ll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.

A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed
And we were happy, happier then
So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminesin'
NYC is you I′m missin'

Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker
I'll Bet we got a million songs to share
Laughin′ on the outside, slightly depressed
Cause you know I′ll like to be there, guess you had to be there
If I could only be there now.
