When I was young my dad would say
"C'mon 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
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 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 still the same
But I miss my dad tonight
I walk by the Salvation Army store
Saw a hat like my daddy wore
Tried it on and fixed the brim
Still tryin' 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, Pa
