I WAS THERE [ with Buck Owens ] lyrics

I was there (I was there) I was there (I was there) When love crashed and burned I was there 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 wildfire I was there (I was there) I was there (I was there) When love came around I was there And one thing certain I did all the hurtin' At love's final curtain I was there [ guitar ] I was there when love came in like a living tornado And 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)... I was there (I was there)... I was there (I was there)...
