Lyrics

[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] .
