[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 |
