Capo II
Spoken Introduction:
"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."
Intro: |
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
Be always took care of Mom and me. We all cut down
a Christmas tree
Be 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
