Chet Atkins - I Still Can't Say Goodbye HQ video free download
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 hard I try
No matter how many years go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye

No song/singer has ever moved me more than in this video. I've sat dry eyed through the death of Simba's father in the Lion King, and when Bambi's mum went bye bye I think I may even have laughed. I cry every time I watch this video...what an amazing guy & song.9 years ago

When I tried to share this song with my Father several years ago, he just blew it off. Couldn't ever get close to him. He died a few months back. I know he's listening now......9 years ago

i've watched this video dozens of times, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Chet was pure class; master guitarist and even better person. If you watch the entire special from where this video was pulled, you can see the love and admiration that all these great musicians had for this man. It's just fantastic.9 years ago

What a true example for music makers around the world. I can't believe people believe the crap today's celebrities ''sell'' as giving away their deepest feelings. Most of that commercial rubbish isn't even close to what most people call their deepest feelings. Chet Atkins here is playing such a sincere, intense and beautiful, yet simple song, which makes a huge ass, bearded, tattooed guy like myself cry like a baby. This man was a true hero for me. Thank you dear mr. Atkins. 9 years ago

Today is Fathers Day....I posted this again to Facebook....best Fathers Day song I know of....( I also like Why Worry from this concert. I could never hear the words with Dylan like Dire Straits. The Everly Brothers singing with Chet and Dire Straights leader is perfect, you can hear the words and great words....also on YouTube ). .......Happy Fathers Day9 years ago
