Intro
Verse 1
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
Chorus
It Was A Happy Day, But Kinda' Sad
And I Wish I Could've Been There
I Wish I Could've Been There
I Wish I Could've Been There For That
Verse 2
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 His Mom Smiled, She Was Saying That He's A Chip Off Of The Old Block
But I Was On The Road Somewhere Between Memphis And Little Rock
Chorus
It Was A Happy Day, But Kinda' Sad
And I Wish I Could've Been There
I Wish I Could've Been There
I Wish I Could've Been There For That
Verse 3
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
Bridge
We Wish We Could Have Been There
We Wish We Could Have Been There
We Wish We Could Have Been There For That
Out-Chorus
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
