[00:01.46].
[00:02.77].
[00:03.90].
[00:13.15]We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will
[00:22.22]Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids
[00:29.72]Then he opened up the papers and my father's words were read
[00:38.03]You could have heard a pin drop when we heard the things he said
[00:46.53].
[00:48.47]"To all my loving family I leave this old house
[00:56.72]Just split up all the money and pass it all around
[01:05.15]But now that that's all settled and it's all said and done
[01:13.59]Here's a few things that I'll leave with each and everyone"
[01:21.78].
[01:25.65]"To the boys I leave the family name, the honesty and the pride
[01:33.56]To both my precious girls, I leave a million lullabies
[01:40.56]Sing them to your children and let them know you care
[01:49.75]And take what strength I gave to you and be patient, kind and fair"
[01:57.13].
[01:58.75]"To all I leave undying love, let no one shed a tear
[02:06.88]'Cause I was the luckiest man on earth in the time that I was here
[02:15.76]And finally to mother who's love was ever true
[02:22.19]The greatest gift a man can give, I leave my heart to you"
[02:30.25].
[02:32.50]We all just kind of sat there, not knowing what to say
[02:40.81]Then Mama looked at all of us and said, "I’d like to pray"
[02:51.06]So right there in that office in words so soft and still
[02:59.57]We all swore that we’d honor the things in Daddy’s will
[03:09.63].
