Artist/Band: John Anderson
Lyrics for Song: I Wish I Could've Been There
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - John Anderson



When our baby Kate was born

It was the biggest day of my life

Lying there with bows in her hair

In the loving arms of my wife

I was the proudest papa in the USA

making a livin' on the road somewhere a thousand miles away



It was a happy day but kinda sad

I wish I could've been there

I wish I could've been there

I wish I could've been there for that



Little Bobby hit his first homerun

He was the hero of the hometown crowd

2 to 1 it was a winning run

everybody was cheering loud

and mama she was smiling

saying hes a chip off, off the old block

but i was on the road somewhere

between Memphis and Little Rock



It was a happy day but kinda sad

I wish i could've been there

I wish i could've been there

I wish i could've been there for that



Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up

and moved away

they stayed in touch

we're proud of the two good kids we raised

and its hard to believe we are celebrating our 25th year today

"this party's nice, but the kids arent here"

at least they called to say

congratulations mom and dad



I wish we could've been there

I wish we could've been there

I wish we could've been there for that



It was a happy day but kinda sad

I wish they could've been there

I wish they could've been there

I wish they could've been there for that
