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 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 mum 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
