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 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
