I Was There Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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
