The Ataris - the saddest song (in album So Long, Astoria) Lyrics

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(waiting for you to come)
For you to come
Remember waiting(waiting for you to call)
For you to call
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 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(waiting for you to come)
For you to come
Remember waiting(waiting for you to call)
For you to call
Waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting
For you to call
Waiting for you to call
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....
