Track 1 of 10 on the album "Heartaches, Love & Stuff" (1984) [Intro] D A E7 A [Verse 1]
  A                                   E7              A
I wish that I could tell you what it means to know her love

    D                                             A
But I can't find the words to say how beautiful she was

                                         A7
And I just can't describe the way you'd feel right in her arms

D               E7         A      D A
Resting in her love safe and warm
[Chorus]
                   A       D        A
I guess you had to be there to understand

             G#m    F#m  E           B7      E7
The kind of love I let slip through my hands

                A     D          A    A7
She was like an angel, a love so rare

    D                  A          E7                  A
But words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there
[Interlude] D A E7 A [Verse 2]
    A                             E7        A
I'm drinking to remember, I don't want to forget

         D                                                 A
And it's working pretty good so far, I ain't lost one memory yet

                                          A7
But I know you can't imagine what my old heart's been going through

    D               E7                A     D A
You couldn't know unless you'd lost her too
[Chorus]
                   A       D        A
I guess you had to be there to understand

             G#m    F#m  E           B7      E7
The kind of love I let slip through my hands

                A     D          A    A7
She was like an angel, a love so rare

    D                  A          E7                  A        A7
But words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there

    D                  A          E7                  A        D A
No, words just can't describe her, I guess you had to be there
