Its 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 but 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 Well 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 For the time you said you'd owe me I've wanted you to show me But do you even know me anymore?
I watched my days Turn into years And know 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 Do you even know me anymore?
