I wish I could have been there bub

i wish i could have been there bub
to see you on stage
in front of all those people
doing what you love - dance

i wish i could have been there bub

everytime you need a hug

face-to-face reassurance

a confident smile

this year

seeing you light up
free as ever
moving without thinking
just doing

to you it isn't second nature

but rather first

see you thru

day to day

like how it was before

you got to before

but now i'm miles away

it's where you belong
a home away from home
expression without words
capable of it all

i wish i could have been there bub

smiling at you, cheering for you

amazed like i am every single day
