When i was young, my dad would say
Come on 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 my-self
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 good-bye
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 to-night
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 good-bye
