We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will

Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids

Then he opened up the papers

And my fathers words were read

You could have heard a pin drop

When we heard the things he said

To all my loving family I leave this old house

Just split up all the money and pass it all around

But now that thats all settled and its all said and done

Heres a few things that Ill leave with each and everyone

To the boys I leave the family name, the honesty and pride

To both my precious girls, I leave a million lullabies

Sing them to your children and let them know you care

And take what strength I gave to you and be patient, kind and fair

To all I leave undying love, let no one shed a tear

Cause I was the luckiest man on earth in the time that I was here

And finally to mother whos love was ever true

The greatest a man can give, I leave my heart to you

We all just kind of sat there, not knowing what to say

Then mama looked at all of us and said, "Id like to pray"

So right there in that office in words so soft and still

We all swore that wed honor the things in Daddys will
