"I Wish I Could Have Been There"
I wish I could of been there
to say I love you sis,
and give you a hug and a goodbye kiss,
and tell you I'd miss you,
and it's all right to cry
I wish I could have been there
to cradle you in my arms,
and tell you everything is going to be alright,
even though I would know my whole world
would fall apart.
I wish I could of been there to talk to you
even though you were pronounced dead at the scene.
I wish I could of been there
to hold your hand.
I wish i could of been there
on that cold winter day.
I'd tell you I love you
as the ambulance took you away.
