Lyrics
Saddest Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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.
I remember waiting for you to call.
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.
