It Had To Be You

You had to be right

You had to know which way the road would turn

Your light was always the one shining through

You had to be there

You had to be the first snowfall covering up the trees

You had to be queen of the nest

It had to be you

 

It had to be you in that fast car

Heading into town

It had to be you standing up to see the view

You had to be the first one up the mountain

And the last one down

You had to be right

Always right

It had to be you

 

You were the one who did the thinking

You were the one to make the plans

I just cleaned the stalls in your stable

I was just another one of your fans

 

It had to be you on that racehorse

Jumping every fence

You were the lead rower in the crew

Your ship was the fastest

Your thoughts the most intense

If there was one choice to make

It had to be you

 

You had to be the first light of morning

The last star at night

There was always one more thing you had to do

And though you said you loved me

And that I was the one

We both knew it wasn’t me

It had to be you
