On the top shelf in the closet, in the workshop where he spent his extra time
A D E A
Was a dusty wooden box I had never noticed till that time
D A
Then we set it on the table and carefully we opened up the top
E A
And stared into the memory, Daddy kept inside the box

D A
There was a letter from Mamma, when she went out to Reno to help her sister out in 62

And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation

It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew
D
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
A
Years ago, I thought it had been lost
E
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
A
But that was long before we found the box
--------------------
I guess we always knew it_but "I love you" was hard for him to say
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way
BUT that night I began__to see the softer side of some I had lost
I saw the love he kept inside the first time_we opened up the box
Chorus 2:
There was a picture that was taken, when he and Mom were dating standing by his 1944
And the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptised
I guess no one understood him like the Lord
And the poem that he had written, about his wife and children
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box
Yes that was long before we found the box
