Sometimes it seems like yesterday
Grab his hat and fix the brim
I still can't say goodbye
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how hard I try
Of Mom and me
We all cut down a Christmas tree
When I was all by myself
Most things are the same
I walked by a Salvation Army store
Street lights, they still shine bright
Still trying to be like him
No matter, how many years go by
Wind blows through the trees
He always had some time for me
"C'mon son, let's go out and play"
My dad would say
No matter, how many years go by
Pretending I was him
And I'd climb up the closet shelf
But I miss my dad tonight
Saw a hat like my daddy wore
He always took care
Tried it on when I walked in
No matter, how many tears I cry
No matter, how hard I try
When I was young
