Oak Ridge Boys, The - 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
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 gave me all the answers, it was up to me to choose
It took so long for me to realize what you already knew

I LOVE THE MUSIC THE OAK RIDGE BOYS SING. THEY ARE GREAT.
This my song for my ex Richard Shane Keck
On this day in 1982 {September 26th} the Oak Ridge Boys' "I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head" peaked at #2* {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart...
Between 1976 and 1999 the quartet had forty-four records on the Hot Country Singles chart, thirty-three made the Top 10 with seventeen reaching #1...
They just missed having three more #1 records when their "You're The One" {1977}, "Sail Away" {1979}, and the above "I Wish You Could Have Turned My Head" {1982} all peaked at #2...
* The two weeks it was at #2, it was "Put Your Dreams Away" by Mickey Gilley and "Yesterday's Wine" by Merle Haggard and George Jones that kept it out the top spot...
Dang this is a great song!
Ah hell, I will just come out and say it....please give me upvotes!
PS don't drink and post to youtube!
Who wishes they would have turned your head and left your heart alone ?
I'm 34 yrs old but grew up on this older music through my parents my generation sucks you people are terrible parents the ladies are whores and the men are qheer ...yall fucking suck.....because of this... this song applies to every woman I've ever tried to love. I wish I was raised by the generation that grew up in the 1930's not the assholes that came of age in the 70s and 80s
Im 38 and l stand with ya.. My parents loved classic country music..and l still love it..
Love these sad old songs. . .its the stories that really make country music.
A timeless classic
Andrew Welch cccggggkckcckvggghvvvnvbnv vvcffc

How could one get tired of this...
Mindy is all I can think of , this the perfect song it does hurt but I smile , we had some very got times ,but she moved on and left this country boy with memory that will always be painful.
Sounds like my second ex wife.
OAK RIDGE BOY ARE AWESOME. THEY SING GOOD MUSIC. LOVE THIS SONG.
I have been listening to the real country music like this since I was 18 I am ,61 keep them coming
this is country music I don't know what they call it nowadays but this was country music and I wish they would bring it back the Oaks and The Statler Brothers Alabama Leonard Skinner they had it going on and let's not forget about Charlie Daniels
So my relationship!
I myself have grown up on country music in the '80s. It is by far the best music during that time. Definitely still enjoy it.
Sir I'm finding the song complete album ..sorry sir
I miss old Country Music from the original styles and it's sub-genre (Honky Tonk, Southern Rock, Blue Grass, Gospel Country etc.) to the 80' and 90's style. Sadly, today's Country Music is tainted by modern pop styles or other modern styles that destroys the purity of the music. Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Georgia-Florida line & etc. The original soul and essence is lost that instead of the lyric's messages are focused on family, faith in God, true love, the truth about the positive and negative aspects of life and rural values, it is being replaced by total non-sense just like most of the other modern music of today.
OAK RIDGE BOYS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ME AND MY DAD'S FAVORITE COUNTRY SINGING GROUP. WE BOTH ENJOYED THEIR MUSIC A WHOLE LOT. WHEN I HEAR A SONG BY THE OAK RIDGE BOYS IT MAKES ME THINK OF MY DAD WHO IS IN HEAVEN . I LOVE YOU DAD AND I MISS YOU ..
Time traveler here. Still listening in 2073!!!
I've seen them in person they asked me to go on stage with them and I did and I was only 5 years old when I seen them and asked me to go on stage to sing with them
William Lee Golden should shave the ugly Moses beard and look like a man in the 21st century. He looks ridiculous on stage with the other members.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN !!!!
Man thats good music
43 and this kinda music is and always will be favorite my children even looked it when they were younger
I once knew a women that went she walked by her pleated skirts had a dance that could not be copied
