On the top shelf in the closet, [D] in the workshop where [A] he spent his extra time
Was a dusty wooden box [D] that I had [E] never noticed till [A] that night
Then [D] we set it on the table, carefully we opened [A] up the top
[E] And stared into the memories that he kept [A] inside the box
There [D] was a letter from Mama when she went out to Reno
To help her sister out in the [A] 62
[E] And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation
It was the first time that my daddy [A] ever flew
[D] And a pocket knife I gave to him on Father's Day
Years ago I thought it [A] had been lost
[E] We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
That was long before [A] we found the box
I guess we always knew it, [D] but I love you [E] was hard for [A] him to say
Some men show it easily, [D] some just [A] never seem to find a way
[D] But that night I began to see a softer side of someone I [A] had lost
[E] I saw the love he kept inside the first time when we [A] opened up the box
[D] There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating
Standing by his [A] 1944
[E] And a faded leather Bible he got when he was baptized
I guess no one understood him [A] like the Lord
And [D] a poem that he had written all about his wife and children
Tender words he wrote were [A] quite a shock
We all thought his [E] heart was made of solid rock
That was long [A] before we found the box
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
That was long before we found the box
On the top shelf in the closet, [D] in the workshop where [A] he spent his extra time
Was a dusty wooden box [D] that I had [E] never noticed till [A] that night
