[Verse 1]
Everytime I close my eyes
You're all that I can see
I hold you in my heart
And know you're watching over me

[Chorus 1]
Standing by your side
It felt like I could fly
If I could be half the man
That you are in my eyes
And I could face the darkest day
And fight the tears inside
I can't turn the page
Or hold back the time
It's too hard to say goodbye
It's too hard to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
From you I learned it all
You would never let me fall
Love won't come undone
Between a father and his son

[Chorus 2]
Standing by your side
Felt like I could fly
If I could be half the man
That you are in my eyes
I would face the darkest day
And fight the tears inside
I can't turn the page
Or hold back the time
It's too hard to say goodbye
It's too hard to say goodbye

[Bridge]
There will come a day
I'll have to walk alone
And I'll have to make it on my own
You taught me all there is to know
Dad, I'll never let you go

[Chorus 2]

[Outro]
Just can't say goodbye
