Song of the day

[grand_skubik]

I STILL CAN'T SAY GOODBYE

(Song for Dad)

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
I 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 good-bye

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 seem 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 roll by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye...

Так грустно... Пусть эта песня будет посвящением всем, кто потерял родителей и близких людей...
