Tommy Emmanuel - I Still Can't Say Goodbye lyrics

When I was young my dad would say "Come on son let's go out and play!" Sometimes it seems like yesterday. Then I'd climb up the closet shelf When I was all by myself I'd 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, And the streetlights they still shine bright; Most things seem the same, But I miss my dad tonight I walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore I tried it on as I walked in, I'm still trying to be like 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 I still can't say goodbye
