Still Can't Say Goodbye...It's So True...I Miss Her...
This song can be applied to everyone if you have ever encountered loss...
To me this song is very special because I remember sitting with her and mom and a few other family members watching a special Father's Day Edition Smothers Brothers episode.
Eleven days after my birthday...I never wanted to be faced with saying goodbye...so much life and spunk-you needed to live forever-
Still Can't Say Goodbye by Chet Atkins (Rest In Peace Mr. Guitar)
"You know, every time I look in the mirror I see my Dad.
I think that's why this song means so much to me."
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 my-self
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 go 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 are the same
but I miss my Dad to-night
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 many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye
I Love You, Gram, and I'll never forget you. I didn't know what to do and then it was too late. I can only remember the words of Tidus, a character from a video game called Final Fantasy X,
"Never say goodbye-it's more like 'see you later.'"
