I Still Can't Say Goodbye by 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 roll 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 street lights, 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
Still trying to be like him

No matter how hard I try
No matter how many tears I cry
No matter how many years roll by
I still can't say goodbye
I still can't say goodbye
Oh-oh-oh-oh
