Only two more days
Until your birthday
Yesterday was mine
You'll be turning five
I know what its 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 [bad word] 
I remember waiting for you to call.
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all.
I remember waiting for you [bad word] 
Remember waiting for you to call.
Waiting there to find nothing at all.

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've got a lot of catching up to do.

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