I Still Can't Say Goodbye

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
