I Was There

When she bought her first heels, I was there When she combed those last pigtails from her hair When she wore her sisters dress to the prom I must confess When the last dance was danced, I was there When I first fell in love, she was there I can still remember when and where But life gives and takes and we all have our breaks When she broke her first heart, I was there When she walked down the aisle, I was there When she took the vows to always love and care With dignity and grace I quietly took my place With the friends of the bride, I was there When they had their first fight and she called in the night Though I knew it wasn't right, I was there And when he left her again and she needed a friend Like a fool I've always been, I was there The last time we met, he was there And whatever he thinks I don't care I loved her first and he loved her worst I know she told me so when I was there I know she told me so when I was there
