| [00:13.23] |
We were sittin' round the supper table and the buzz of the frigidaire |
| [00:18.83] |
Was the only sound 'til momma laid down, a book she found upstairs |
| [00:25.48] |
It was covered in dust in the back of the closet, |
| [00:29.47] |
Goodwill box we almost tossed it out |
| [00:33.36] |
We could have lost all those memories |
| [00:38.43] |
|
| [00:39.09] |
There was a picture of mama in the pouring rain |
| [00:42.29] |
Ticket stubs to a Braves game |
| [00:45.60] |
Silver star and a baggage claim from Hanoi, Vietnam |
| [00:51.58] |
There was a picture of him callin' on grandpa |
| [00:55.27] |
Leather skin from a baseball |
| [00:58.43] |
We laughed and cried, told stories all night long |
| [01:03.26] |
From the book of John |
| [01:06.45] |
|
| [01:18.00] |
Now the pot of coffee's almost gone, as we turn another page |
| [01:23.88] |
We're climbing on him like a Jungle Jim, watching his hair turn gray |
| [01:30.90] |
All the Polaroids are just reminders, |
| [01:34.12] |
You can't hold life in a three ring binder |
| [01:37.61] |
We flipped on through 'em anyway |
| [01:41.16] |
|
| [01:43.63] |
There's a picture at his sister taken in July |
| [01:47.10] |
On the steps of the church pulling out his tie |
| [01:50.31] |
Hair's still wet from gettin' baptized, the brand new blue suit on |
| [01:56.34] |
An old set of keys to his Chevrolet |
| [02:00.10] |
A crumpled up receipt for a wedding ring |
| [02:03.28] |
We watched ourselves grow up there in his arms |
| [02:07.90] |
In the book of John |
| [02:11.94] |
|
| [02:22.95] |
That sun came up, we were wide awake |
| [02:26.21] |
Head to toe in black and gray |
| [02:29.30] |
Long black Lincoln waiting down the drive |
| [02:34.54] |
He was father, son, husband and friend |
| [02:39.06] |
I still flip through it every now and then |
| [02:42.12] |
When I need just a few words of advice |
| [02:47.60] |
It's almost like he's not really gone |
| [02:52.69] |
And I know one day I'll be passin' on |
| [03:01.73] |
The book of John |
| [03:06.20] |
