1
On the top shelf in the closet
2
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
3
Was a dusty wooden box that I had never noticed 'til that night
4
Then we set it on the table and carefully we opened up the top
5
And stared into the memories Daddy kept inside the box
6
There was a letter from Mamma, when she went out to Reno
7
To help her sister out in '62
8
And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation
9
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew
10
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
11
Years ago I thought it had been lost
12
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
13
But that was long before we found the box
14
I guess we always knew it, but "I love you" was hard for him to say
15
Some men show it easily and some just never seem to find the way
16
But that night I began to see the softer side of someone I had lost
17
I saw the love he kept inside the first time that we opened up the box
18
There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were datin'
19
Standing by his 1940 Ford
20
And a faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptized
21
I guess no one understood him like the Lord
22
And a poem that he had written all about his wife and children
23
The tender words he wrote were quite a shock
24
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
25
But that was long before we found the box
26
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
27
But that was long before we found the box
