On the top shelf in the closet[00:00:07]
In the workshop where he spent his extra time[00:00:10]
Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time[00:00:16]
And we set on the table and carefully we opened up the top[00:00:24]
And stared into the memory[00:00:34]
Daddy kept inside the box[00:00:38]
There was a letter from mamma when she went out to Reno[00:00:42]
To help her sister out in 62[00:00:49]
And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation[00:00:55]
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew[00:01:01]
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day[00:01:07]
Years ago I thought it had been lost[00:01:13]
We all thought his heart was made from solid rock[00:01:19]
But that was long before we found the box[00:01:26]
I guess we always knew it but I love you was hard for him to say[00:01:35]
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way[00:01:43]
But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost[00:01:52]
I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box[00:02:01]
There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating[00:02:10]
Standing by his 1944 and the faded leather Bible he got when he was baptised[00:02:17]
I guess no one understood him like the Lord[00:02:28]
And the poem that he had written about his wife and children[00:02:35]
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock[00:02:41]
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock[00:02:46]
But that was long before we found the box[00:02:53]
Yes that was long before we found the box[00:02:58]
