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
