The Oak Ridge Boys - Wish You Could Have Been There lyrics

Finally jumped into the deep end
Like daytime in the evenin'
It got dark out there so fast
It took everything I had
All the fears that I've been facin'
The mistakes I kept on makin'
I changed them all that day
I chased them all away
I guess you saw this comin' long before I did
You never wondered if I could
You only wondered when

Wish you could've been there to see me
You always believed me even when
I couldn't believe myself
Wish you could've been there to see this
The moment that I witnessed
Every single word you said come true
Wish you could've been there
Wish you could've been there



Tonight I'll close my eyes and sleep
For the very first time
I'll dream of waking up next to you
You can't count on second chances
Lord knows I've had a few
You gave me all the answers
It was up to me to choose

It took so long for me to
Realize what you already knew
