I Wish I Could Have Been There Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on. 

I wish I could have been there on the highway 

When the people came from miles around to see 

The children of the flowers come together 

I wish I could have been there in the sunshine 

With the sound of lovely laughter in the air 

And the music makers first began to play 

To hear them play 

And I wish I could have been there in the rain 

When the clouds were full of castles in the sky 

And I wish I could have heard the people sing 

As the rhytmn and the words came floating by 

I wish I could have been there in the starlight 

When the country side was trying once again 

And the music and the makers the poets and the singers 

And the children of the flowers have all gone
