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 USA
Makin` a living
on the road somewhere
a thousand miles away
It was a happy day
but kind of 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 home run
He was the hero
of the hometown crowd
Two to one it was
a winning run
Everybody was
cheering loud
And mommy 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 kind of 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 stay in touch
We`re proud of the
two good kids we raised
And it`s hard to believe
we are 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`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 kind of sad
I wish they could`ve been there
I wish they could`ve been there
I wish they could`ve been there
for that
