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 father¡¯s 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 that¡¯s all settled and it¡¯s all said and done

Here¡¯s a few things that I¡¯ll 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 who¡¯s 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, "I¡¯d like to pray"

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

We all swore that we¡¯d honor the things in Daddy¡¯s will
