I Still Can't Say Goodbye
When I was young
My dad would say
"C'mon son, let's go out an' play"
Seems like only yesterday
When I was all by myself
I'd climb up the closet shelf
Find his hat, and fix the brim
Pretending, I was him
No matter, how hard I try
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how many years go by
I still can't say, "Goodbye"
He took good care
Of Mom and me
We all cut down, the Christmas tree
He always had some time, for me
Wind blows, through the trees
Street-lights, they still shine bright
Most things, are the same
But I miss my dad, tonight
I walk by, the Salvation Army store
Saw a hat, like my daddy wore
Tried it on, and fixed the brim
Still tryin', to be like him
No matter, how hard I try
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how many years go by
I still can't say, "Goodbye"
My dad would say
"C'mon son, let's go out an' play"
Seems like only yesterday
When I was all by myself
I'd climb up the closet shelf
Find his hat, and fix the brim
Pretending, I was him
No matter, how hard I try
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how many years go by
I still can't say, "Goodbye"
He took good care
Of Mom and me
We all cut down, the Christmas tree
He always had some time, for me
Wind blows, through the trees
Street-lights, they still shine bright
Most things, are the same
But I miss my dad, tonight
I walk by, the Salvation Army store
Saw a hat, like my daddy wore
Tried it on, and fixed the brim
Still tryin', to be like him
No matter, how hard I try
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how many years go by
I still can't say, "Goodbye"
