C Am
Only two more days, until your

birthday,
yesterday was mine
C Am
You’ll be turning five I know what it’s

like
growing up without your father in your

So I pretend, I’m doing all I can
Am G F
And I hope someday you’ll find it
in your heart
Am G C F
To understand why I’m not around
Am G F
And forgive me for not being in your life

C
I remember waiting for you to come
Am
Remember waiting for you to call
G F
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all
C
I remember waiting for you to come
Am
Remember waiting for you to call
G F
Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting for you to come
Forgive me

Waiting for you to call
I’m so sorry
F C (hold)
I will make it up to
you
