[00:12.76]We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will
[00:21.84]Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids
[00:29.33]Then he opened up the papers and my father's words were read
[00:38.84]You could've heard a pin drop when we heard the things he said
[00:48.01]To all my loving family, I leave this old house
[00:56.30]Just split up all the money and pass it all around
[01:04.72]But now that that's all settled and it's all said and done
[01:13.42]Here's a few things that I'll leave with each and every one
[01:25.14]To the boys, I leave the family name, the honesty and pride
[01:33.19]And to both my precious girls, I leave a million lullabies
[01:40.39]Sing them to your children and let them know you care
[01:49.68]Take what strength I gave to you and be patient, kind and fair
[01:58.36]To all, I leave undying love, let no one shed a tear
[02:06.30]'Cause I was the luckiest man on earth in the time that I was here
[02:15.24]And finally to mother, who's love was ever true
[02:21.75]The greatest gift a man can give, I leave my heart to you
[02:31.97]We all just kind of sat there not knowing what to say
[02:40.39]Then mama looked at all of us and said, "I'd like to pray"
[02:50.58]So right there in that office in words so soft and still
[02:59.30]We all swore that we'd honor the things in daddy's will
