I Still Can't Say Goodbye

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
