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

So I 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 there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting
(Waiting for you to come)
I remember waiting
(Waiting for you to call)
Waiting there to find nothing at all

Maybe someday you'll really get to know me
Not just the letters read to you
I pray I get the chance to make it up to you
We've gotta lot of catchin' up to do

So I pretend, I'm doin' all I can
And I 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
I remember waiting for you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting
(Waiting for you to come)
I remember waiting
(Waiting for you to call)
Waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting
(Waiting for you to come, waiting for you to come)
I remember
(Waiting for you to come)

Forgive me
(Waiting for you to come)
I'm so sorry
I will make it up to you
