I Still Can't Say Goodbye

[Verse 1] When I was young My dad would say "Come on son, let's go out and 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] I walk by the Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore Tried it on and fixed the brim Still trying to be like him [Chorus]
