[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
