WHEN OUR BABY KATE
WAS BORN
IT WAS THE
BIGGEST DAY
OF MY LIFE
LYIN' THERE
LITTLE BOWS
IN HER HAIR
IN THE LOVING 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 KIND OF SAD
I WISH
I COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
I COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
I COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
FOR THAT
LITTLE BOBBY
HIT HIS FIRST
HOME RUN
HE WAS THE HERO
OF THE HOMETOWN
CROWD
TWO TO ONE
IT WAS THE
WINNIN' RUN
EVERYBODY WAS
CHEERIN' LOUD
AND MAMA
SHE WOULD SMILE
AND SAY
AND 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 HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
I COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
I COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
FOR THAT
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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 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
I WISH
WE COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
FOR THAT
IT WAS A
HAPPY DAY
BUT KIND OF SAD
I WISH
THEY COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
THEY COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
I WISH
THEY COULD HAVE
BEEN THERE
FOR THAT
