only 2 more days until your birthday

yesterday was mine

you'll be turning 5

i know what its like

growing up without your father in your life



so i can pretend im doing all that i can

and hope someday you'll find it in yourheart

to understand why im not around

and forgive me for not being in your life



i remember waiting for you to call

remember waiting for you to come

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



so i can pretend im doing all that i can

and hope someday you'll find it in yourheart

to understand why im not around

and forgive me for not being in your life
