When i was young my dad would say Come on son let's go out and play Sometimes it seems like yesterday I'd climb upon the closet shelf When i was all by myself Grab his hat and fix the brim Pretending i was him Chorus 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 cut down a christmas tree He always had some time for me Wind blows through the trees Streetlights they still shine bright Moon still looks the same? But i miss my dad tonight Stopped 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 Chorus
