Good Evening Lyrics - 1989

[ Buy Good Evening ]

(m. crenshaw, l. preston)

You should've been there as the sun went down
Colors ran all across the ground
Then a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care...you should've been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
Chorus:
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere i didn't want to go
So i kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere...you should've been there
Then i thought i saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd i went chasing you down
When i grabbed your arm...she spun around
A stranger glared...you should've been there
You should've been there
There's always so much to see in this old town
Don't you agree
But then again i never said i'd be anywhere
You should've been there
I saved you a place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
Chorus
