Ataris, The - The Saddest Song 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
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....

This song is, obviously, an apology from Kris Roe to his daughter for not being in her life. The thing that makes this song great is how personal and emotional the song is for Kris. The full band version doesn't allow this to come through as well as the acoustic version, which is among the best tracks on So Long, Astoria.

It is a goal of mine to learn to play this song. It really is beautiful...though I dont think I could sing it nearly as well as he does.

Love it. It's one of my favourite songs [right now]. His voice is just...ugh, amazing.
