| It’s cold tonight,
|
| I heard her say.
|
| She was staring out the window
|
| As I came home late.
|
| She tried to smile
|
| but looked away
|
| Oh I could see the tears were running
|
| Down her face
|
| She said…
|
| You go to work,
|
| You pay the bills.
|
| I stay at home,
|
| And I make the meals
|
| But you don’t even know who I am anymore.
|
| You’re a million miles away
|
| Though I see you every day
|
| And I’ve been waiting right here,
|
| Oh for all these years
|
| And sometimes I get so lonely,
|
| I need to know you love me
|
| But do you even know me anymore?
|
| I turned around.
|
| To see my son.
|
| Oh, I remember his first birthday,
|
| Now he’s twenty-one.
|
| I missed his life.
|
| I missed it all,
|
| Oh, to him I was a man
|
| Just living down the hall.
|
| He said… I learned to live,
|
| Without you Dad
|
| But i’d give it all
|
| Just to have you back.
|
| But you don’t even know who I am anymore.
|
| I used to wait at all my games
|
| But still you never came
|
| And I’ve been waiting right here,
|
| Oh for all these years
|
| From the time you said you’d owe me,
|
| I’ve wanted you to show me
|
| But you don’t even know me anymore?
|
| I’ve watched my days,
|
| Turn into years
|
| And now I’m wondering how I wound up here.
|
| I dreamed my dreams
|
| I made my plans
|
| But all I’ve built here is an empty man.
|
| And I don’t even know who I am anymore.
|
| Oh, God I’m praying through the tears,
|
| Let me make up for these years
|
| Oh, have I waited too long?
|
| Can I start again,
|
| To be the man you’ve wanted of me
|
| I’m begging you to show me
|
| But do you even know me anymore? |
