I Still Can't Say Goodbye ~ Chet Atkins ~ Lyrics ~ YouTube
When I was young, my Dad would say
Come on Son let's go out and play
Sometimes it seems like yesterday
Then 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 hard I try
No matter how many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye

Before he died Tommy promised Chet he would continue to perform this song as long as he breathed...
Tommy lost his father when he was 14...
The song's an emotional monster...
I love both versions and yes they make me cry

My father passed away 4yrs ago, and after listening to this version, I loved it sooo much, I managed to learn this on my guitar as well. Now I play this everytime I visit my Dad's grave. Never forgeting him, always missing him.THANK YOU Tommy !!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen him do this live 3 times and it gets me every damn time! You would have to be a non-human to not feel this. It means even more when you know his dad died when he was about 10.
