Wish I Could Have Been There

lyrics

WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
The first time you opened your eyes
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
To hear your laughter and your cries
Where was I in the days of your life
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
when your bracelet was still on your mothers wrist
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
I wish I could have seen the things I missed
Everything you loved everyone you kissed\
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

Love has many faces
Love takes many turns
Of the kind of love I have for you
I have still so much to learn

WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
When you were playing hide and seek
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
When you were dancing in the street
Even you when were nothing
But the wind between the sheets
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
When you set sail and left the shore
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
There is nothing I have wished for more
I never wanted to intrude on you
When you wanted to be alone
Once I held you in my arms
Why did I let you go
Its too late now for both of us
But I just had to let you know
WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
