| [00:07.72] |
On the top shelf in the closet |
| [00:10.47] |
In the workshop where he spent his extra time |
| [00:16.40] |
Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time |
| [00:24.97] |
And we set on the table and carefully we opened up the top |
| [00:34.53] |
And stared into the memory |
| [00:38.97] |
Daddy kept inside the box |
| [00:41.53] |
|
| [00:42.97] |
There was a letter from mamma when she went out to Reno |
| [00:49.65] |
To help her sister out in 62 |
| [00:55.47] |
And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation |
| [01:01.59] |
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew |
| [01:05.78] |
|
| [01:07.65] |
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day |
| [01:13.03] |
|
| [01:13.78] |
Years ago I thought it had been lost |
| [01:18.03] |
|
| [01:19.28] |
We all thought his heart was made from solid rock |
| [01:23.66] |
|
| [01:26.03] |
But that was long before we found the box |
| [01:30.22] |
|
| [01:35.91] |
I guess we always knew it but I love you was hard for him to say |
| [01:43.91] |
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way |
| [01:51.66] |
|
| [01:52.91] |
But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost |
| [02:00.85] |
|
| [02:01.97] |
I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box |
| [02:09.28] |
|
| [02:10.42] |
There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating |
| [02:17.11] |
Standing by his 1944 and the faded leather Bible he got when he was baptised |
| [02:28.92] |
I guess no one understood him like the Lord |
| [02:35.44] |
And the poem that he had written about his wife and children |
| [02:41.19] |
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock |
| [02:46.56] |
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock |
| [02:51.06] |
|
| [02:53.31] |
But that was long before we found the box |
| [02:57.56] |
|
| [02:58.75] |
Yes that was long before we found the box |
