Oooh oooh oh ooooh When I was just a little boy Barely stong enough to stand I can always count on him oh He taught me everything I know And till this day it shows He was more than just a friend There was 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 It's to never say you can't Oh never say you can't oh oh So when lifes rain begins to fall And you're out there on your own And you can't see a thing oh no no Just find that voice that understands For me it was my old man Taught me to say the words "I can" Oh There was 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 It's to never say you can't Everything you taught me will stay with me forever No I wont forget a thing Oh because of dad I now know my son better -mute And I hope I can do for him what he did for me Oh 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 It's to never say you can't Oh never say you can't oh oh Never say you can't
