"Wish You Could Have Been There" lyrics - THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

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
