Oohh, oohh
Oohh, oohh

When I was just a little boy
Barely strong enough to stand
I could always count on him, ooh

He thought me everything I know
And 'till this day it shows
He was more than just a friend

There were so many times
I would doubt myself
But his words were always there to help

I woudn't be, where I am
If my father didn’t tell me
To never say I can’t

He carried me
And never let me fall
Oh, and the only thing he asked
Right before he passed
Was to never say you can’t

Ooh, never say you can’t
Ooh, ooh

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, ooh

There were so many times
I would doubt myself
But his words were always there to help

I woudn't be, where I am
If my father didn’t tell me
To never say I can’t

He carried 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 myself better
And I hope I can do for him
What he did for me, ooohh

I woudn't be, where I am
If my father didn’t tell me
To never say I can’t

He carried me
And never let me fall
Oh, and the only thing he asked
Right before he passed
Was to never say you can’t

Oohh, never say you can’t
Oohh, never say you can’t
