[Gm] [F]
[Eb] [Bb]
Only [Gm] two more days until your [F] birthday.
[Eb] Yesterday was mine.
[Bb]
You'll [Gm] be turning five.
[F] But it's like growing up [Eb] without your father in your life.
[G]
So [F] I pretend [Bb] I'm doing [Eb] all I can.
[G] And hope [F] someday you'll find it [Eb] in your heart.
[G]
To [F] understand [Bb] what I'm [Eb] not.
[G] And forgive me [F] for not being [Eb] in your life.
[Bb] I remember waiting for you to [Gm] come.
I remember waiting for you to [F] come.
I remember waiting there to find nothing [Eb] at all.
[Bb] I remember waiting for you to [Gm] come.
I remember waiting for you to [F] come.
Waiting there to find nothing [Eb] at all.
[Bb]
[Gm] [F]
[Eb] [Bb]
[F] Maybe [Gm] someday you'll really get [F] to know me.
Not just when [Eb] that is read to you.
[Bb]
I pray I [Gm] get the chance to make [F] it up to you.
We've got to [Eb] catch it up to do.
[G]
So I [F] pretend [Bb] I'm doing all [Eb] I can.
And [G] hope someday [F] you'll find it in [Eb] your heart.
To [G]
[F] understand [Bb] what I'm not.
[Eb] And [Gm] forgive me for [F] not being in [Eb] your life.
I [Bb] remember waiting for you to come.
[Gm] I remember waiting for you to come.
[F] I remember waiting there to find nothing [Eb] at all.
I [Bb] remember waiting for you to come.
[Gm] I remember waiting for you to come.

Waiting there to find nothing [Eb] at all.
I [Bb] remember waiting for you to come.

[Eb] I [Bb] remember.
Oh, forgive [Gm] me.
I'm so [F] sorry.
