Only two more days until your birthday   Yesterday was mine   You'll be 25   I know what it's like    Growing up without your father in your life      So I'll 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   To find nothing at all   I remember waiting   For you to come   Remember waiting   For you to call   Waiting   To find nothing at all      Maybe some day 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'll 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   To find nothing at all   I remember waiting   For you to come   Remember waiting   For you to call   Waiting   To find nothing at all      I remember waiting   For you to come   waiting for you to call      Forgive me   I'm so sorry   I will make it up to you
