Melanie Dyer - Had To Be There

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I could show you in a Polaroid
I could play you all the songs we played
I could tell you how the sunset faded into one of them nights
I could tell you how my heartbeat skipped
When you leaned in for the kiss
I could tell you everything you missed but words can't do it right

{Chorus}
You shoulda seen that night sky
Dancing in that moon light
We had the time of our lives
Fireworks in the air
A sweet summer dreaming
Catching those feelings
I could give a million reasons
But I guess, you had to be there
Oh, I guess, you had to be there

{Verse 2}
It's a shame that you didn't show up
Maybe then it could've been us
Now it's just the chance you lost and too late to get it back
And it's too bad about that because

{Chorus}
You shoulda seen that night sky
Dancing in that moon light
We had the time of our lives
Fireworks in the air
A sweet summer dreaming
Catching those feelings
I could give a million reasons
But I guess, you had to be there
Oh, I guess, you had to be there

{Bridge}
If you had your shot, made your move
You would have been there
You would've had my heart, that's the truth
It's you that would've been there

{Chorus}
You shoulda seen that night sky
Dancing in that moon light
We had the time of our lives
Love was in the air
A sweet summer dreaming
Catching those feelings
I could give a million reasons
But it's too bad you weren't there
And so I guess, you had to be there

{Outro}
To even take your shot, to even make your move
Yeah, you had to be there
You could've had my heart, you could've had my had
Yeah, you had to be there

Biography

Australian artist/songwriter Melanie Dyer burst onto the country-pop scene in 2015 with startling vibrancy. Her EP ‘Lifetime’ was both a stunning artistic blueprint and a tearaway chart success that signalled the arrival of a phenomenal new voice and songwriter in Australian music. In 2017 Melanie released her debut album ‘Fresh’ with the title track (co-written in Nashville with Morgan Evans) an established #1 hit on The Australian Official Country Hot 50 chart for 5 consecutive weeks and the accompanying video #1 on CMC Australia. Follow up single ‘Save My Cents’, also shot to the top of both radio and CMC charts and was a Top 10 finalist in the International Song writing Competition in 2018. More recently Melanie enjoyed breakout success with her single ‘Memphis T-Shirt’. Released in Nov 2019, the song was added to playlists on HIT & Nova Networks and over 100 Regional stations around Australia, enjoying 6 weeks at #1 on The Music Network’s Country Hot 50 Chart and #1 on CMC. The song went on to receive an APRA nomination for ‘The Most Performed Country Work’ in 2021. In late 2020 Melanie released the single ‘20s’ a co-write with writer producer Zachary Kale (Florida Georgia Line, Keith Urban, Gabby Barrett), Reid Isbell and Konstantin Kersting (Tones and I, Mallrat) who also produced the song.

An authentic artist with equal love for Country and Pop genres, Dyer wraps conversational stories in undeniably pop hooks and attracts a fan-base that borders the two worlds.
