I was wrong about the title of the Chet Atkins song -

"I Still Can't Say Goodbye" - by Chet Atkins
http://www.knopfler.net/mp3/chet.mp3

Spoken introduction:
"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 myself
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 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 go by
No matter how many tears I cry
I still can't say good-bye
