I Still Can't Say Goodbye Lyrics
I Still Can't Say Goodbye - Chet Atkins
Written by：James Moore/Robert Blinn
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
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 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 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
