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
E
And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation
A
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
