(Verse)
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
(Pre-Chorus)
So I pretend, I’m doing 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
(Chorus)
I remember waiting for you to come
Remember waiting for you to call
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
I remember waiting for you to come
Remember waiting for you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all
(Repeat Intro)
(Verse)
Maybe someday 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 got a lot of catching up to do
(Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus)
(Outro)
I remember waiting for you to come
Waiting for you to call
I remember waiting for you to come
Waiting for you to call
I will make it up to you
