The Ataris – The Saddest Song

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 I 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

I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Waiting there to find nothing at all

maybe someday

you really get to know me

not just the letters read to you

I pray I get the chance

To make it up to you

We got a lot of catching up to do

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

I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Waiting there to find nothing at all

Forgive me!

I’m so sorry!

I will make it up to you….
