Oh, oh, oh, oh
When I was just a little boy
Barely strong enough to stand
I could always count on him
Oh
He taught me everything I know
And 'til this day it shows
He was more than just a friend (Ah ah ah)
There were so many times I would doubt myself
But his words were always there to help
I wouldn't be
Where I am
If my father didn't tell me
To never say I can't
He'd carry me
And never let me fall
Oh and the only thing he asked
Right before he passed
Was to never say you can't
Oh
Never say you can't
Oh oh oh oh
So when last rain begins to fall
And you're out there on your own
And you can't see a thing
No no no
Just find a voice that understands
For me it was my old man
Taught me to say the words I can
Oh
There were so many times I would doubt myself
But his words were always there to help
I wouldn't be
Where I am
If my father didn't tell me
To never say I can't
He'd carry me
And never let me fall
Oh and the only thing he asked
Right before he passed
Was to never say you can't
Everything he taught me would stay with me forever
No I won't forget a thing
Oh because of dad I now know my son better
And I hope I can do for him what he did for me
I wouldn't be
Where I am
If my father didn't tell me
To never say I can't
He'd carry me
And never let me fall
Oh and the only thing he asked
Right before he passed
Was to never say you can't
Oh
Never say you can't
Oh
Never say you can't
