03. Wish I’d Been There

WISH I’D BEEN THERE

There’s so much to say
Now that you’re grown
Can’t hold back the tears
Seeing you out on your own

I remember a time
When I was crazy and blind
Wish I’d been there for you

You’d come to sleep in my bed with your bear
Your sister she’d follow and sleep on the chair
If we ate dinner together it would be rare
I was picking up the pieces

I remember a time
When I was crazy and blind
Afraid I was losing my mind
Wish I’d been there for you

There’s so many things
I could have done better
So I wrote them all down in this letter
for you

So this is my vow to you now
To always be there for you both
Somehow
When you have your kids
You’ll know what to do
Cause of all we’ve been through

I remember a time
When I was crazy and blind
I’ve left it behind
And I’m here for you
