Artist/Band: John Anderson
Lyrics for Song: 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, little bows in her hair in the loving arms of my wife

I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A.

Makin' a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away



It was a happy day but kinda sad

I wish I could have been there

I wish I could have been there

I wish I could have been there, for that



Little Bobby hit his first home run

He was the hero of the home town crowd

Two to one, it was a winning run, everybody was cheering loud

And momma she was smilin' saying he's a chip off of 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 have been there

I wish I could have been there

I wish I could have been there, for that



Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up and moved away

They stay in touch, we're proud of the two good kids we raised

And it's hard to believe we're celebrating our twenty fifth year today

This party's nice but the kids aren't here, at least they called to say

"Congratulations mom and dad"



I wish we could have been there

I wish we could have been there

I wish we could have been there, for that



It was a happy day but kinda sad

I wish they could have been there

I wish they could have been there

I wish they could have been there, for that
