You can cover him in flowers Carve his name into a stone Let your brother have his toolbox And keep his number in your phone Leave tears on the bathroom floor 'Cause he ain't here anymore but Dads don't die They still make you laugh, still make you cry Still make you mad the day it dawns That you were wrong and he was right Dads don't die And neither does the love they leave behind That's the holy truth I'll hold onto Until I see you in the next life Where there's no pain, no goodbyes And dads don't die I'll see his blue eyes in the mirror And in the crooked way I smile And he'll be with me in my dreams Pushin' me on a tire swing Still makin' me feel like I can fly Dads don't die They still make you laugh, still make you cry Still make you mad the day it dawns That you were wrong and he was right Dads don't die And neither does the love they leave behind That's the holy truth I'll hold onto Until I see you in the next life Where there's no pain, no goodbyes And dads don't die Dads don't die Even if they let you down sometimes There's gonna come a day you understand That he was just a man and you turned out alright Dads don't die And neither does the love they leave behind That's the holy truth I'll hold onto Until I see you in the next life Where there's no pain, no goodbyes Dads don't die Dads don't die Yeah
