At 21 years of age the last thing i ever dreamed of was having to give my dad cpr, to no avail .It took me 15 years to get over that day (39 years ago) and if we had 1 more day i would be sure to tell him how wonderful a dad he was and most of all that i love him.This song brought back alot of memories.Thanks for a wonderful song.
You sure have a winner here, guys. I think everyone can identify with this song! It's absolutely beautiful and I sure do miss my musical Dad, and even after 15 years.....I still can't say goodbye either. Bless your hearts. <3
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I just bought Chet's version as well as Bob's demo. I am going to learn to play this with a couple of my buddy's. A truly great song.
Thank you for posting this. Bob, did you know that Tommy Emmanuel plays "I Still Can't Say Goodbye" at every concert in order to honor a request from Chet Atkins to ". . .keep this song alive. . ."? Given that Chet has recorded perhaps thousands of songs, his request speaks volumes about the beauty and power of your song.
An incredibly beautiful song, universally-appealing message, unforgettable melody, tender instrumentals. Bob, are there any piano arrangements of this song? My wife is classically trained and has been begging me to find an arrangement for her to play.
I got it, took some doing but I got it lol. Thanks Bob, you wrote a great song. My preacher wants us guys to play a song in church on father's day, Im going to recommend this one, want me so send you a copy? I think that would be neat for you to get to see.
This is what songwriting and music is all about. Cut straight from the heart. A reminder of how much we really mean to each other, and how similar we all are.
Thanks so much for composing this song.You know my dad who died in 1986 used to wear a hat like the one thats sung about here.This song will always remind me of him in a positive way.
