Only two more days until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning 5
I know what it's like
Growing up without your father in your life

So I'll pretend
I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life

I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting
To find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting
To find nothing at all

Maybe some day you'll really get to know me
Not just from letters read to you
I pray I get the chance
To make it up to you
We've got a lot of catching up to do

So I'll pretend
I'm doing all I can
And hope someday you'll find it in your heart
To understand why I'm not around
And forgive me for not being in your life

I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Remember waiting
To find nothing at all
I remember waiting
For you to come
Remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting
To find nothing at all

I remember waiting
For you to come
waiting for you to call

Forgive me
I'm so sorry
I will make it up to you
