Karaoke Track: I Wish I Could Have Been There by John Anderson (Nashville Sound) - Karaoke Nerds

When our baby Kate
was born it was the
biggest day of
my life

Lyin' there little
bows in her hair in
the lovin' arms of
my wife

I was the proudest

papa in the U S A

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

It was a happy day

but kinda sad

I wish I could have

been there

Little Bobby hit his

first home run

To the one it was a
winnin' run
everybody was
cheerin' loud

And mama she was
smilin' sayin' he's a
chip off of the
01' 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 for that

Now Bobby and Kate
are all grown up and
moved away

They stay in touch

we're celebratin' 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 for that

It was a happy day

but kinda sad

I wish they could

have been there

I wish they could

have been there
for that
