My daddy [C] died last Sunday and [Ab] today I have [Eb] a chore _ _
_ [Bb] Sorting through old memories in [Ab] an old and [Eb] dusty drawer
With my hand [Bb] upon [Cm] the handle and [Ab] my heart beating in my [Eb] chest _
_ [Bb] I opened up the drawer, _ [Ab] gave my [Bb] heart [Eb] to rest
_ Well I pulled out [Bb] that family [Cm] album, _ [Ab] worn and faded out to [Eb] date
_ And [Bb] I felt his love around me as [Ab] I turned from page [Eb] to page
From his wedding [Dm] to [Cm] my mama, to [Ab] my sister, brother, the [Eb] night
_ Held [Bb] together on those pages, _ [Ab] a [Bb] life passing [Eb] _ by
_ _ He [Ab] said, you can't buy unborrowed [Eb] wings _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] And _ you can't buy life's [Eb] precious _ things _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ It's the wings of _ love that lift [Eb] you _ [Dm] high
[Cm] _ _
And [Ab] the hand of God [Bb] _ upon [Eb] you and _ [Bb] I
[F] Well [Eb]
I picked up his old [Cm] black Bible _ [Ab] that held a family [Eb] tree _
_ [Bb] Passed down through [Bb] the ages [Ab] and now it's passed [Eb] to me _
That old [Dm] black book [Cm] of wisdom, [Ab] as ages left [Eb] to see _ _
_ [Bb] Every verse just brings me back to [Ab] the love [Bb] he [Eb] gave to me
_ As my tears fell on [Cm] the pages and [Ab] my mind slipped back [Eb] in time
_ [Bb] When he was there beside me, [Ab] his gentle hand [Eb] on mine
_ Life wasn't [Cm] always perfect, _ _ [Ab] but he was always [Eb] there
_ _ [Bb] No matter what I did, in life [Ab] I knew my [Eb] daddy cared
_ _ He [Ab] said, _ you can't buy _ [Eb] unborrowed wings _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ And you can't buy life's [Eb] precious _ _ things _ _
_ [Ab] _ It's the wings of love that lift [Eb] you _ _ _ [Cm] _ high
[Ab] And the hand of God [Bb] _ upon [Eb] you and I
_ _ And [Bb] the hand of [Ab] God [Bb] upon [Eb] you and I _ _ _ _
