I tried to paint the sky  But couldn't remake the moment  No, you had to be there  With her and I  I sang a song to the river  But the water didn't care  No, you had to be there  To see her hand in mine  Don't you miss your moment?  It will surely pass you by  You can't relive a moment  Only in your dying mind  So hold on to it  Cause you can't remake the sky  I tried to mould a mountain  But couldn't climb my way down  No, you had to be there  To see my dreams flow through her hair  I tried to tell my tale  But even with endless pages filled  You had to be there  To feel her lips and see her smile
