Lyrics

You know, every time I look in the mirror I see my Dad I think that's why this song means so much to me When I was young My dad would say "C'mon son, let's go out and play" Sometimes it seems like yesterday And I'd climb up the closet shelf When I was all by myself Grab 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 always took care Of Mom and me We all cut down a 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 walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore Tried it on when I walked in Still trying to be like him No matter, how hard I try No matter, how many years go by No matter, how many tears I cry I still can't say goodbye
