The Box - Hit Co. Masters
On the top shelf in the closet
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
Was a dust wooden box that
I had never noticed till that time
And we set on the table and
Carefully we opened up the top
And stared into the memory
Daddy kept inside the box
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
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
Years ago I thought it had been lost
We all thought his heart was made from solid rock
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
That night I began to see
The softer side of some I had lost
I saw the love he kept inside
And first time we opened up the box
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
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box
