Chesnutt, Mark - The Will Lyrics
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've heard a pin drop when we heard the things he said.
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 every one.
[Spoken]
To the boys I leave the family name, the honesty and pride
And to both my precious girls I leave a million lullabies
[Sang]
Sing them to your children and let them know you care
[Spoken]
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
[Sang]
The greatest gift 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...

Cordillera is the only place here in Phillipines who love country music
A great song sung well and enhanced by the brilliant piano playing of Hargus Robbins.
I bought this cd. The first time i heard this song. I cried like a baby. I had to listen several more times that night. That is all i could hope for in my life. The things passed down. Not money the times memories. And a name that meant something. Like it use to.
It isn't about the money. It was always about the love in our family. When my dad died, he died at the home place we all grew up in. And my mom did too. When you lose both your parents within 3 years. It is rough. They taught us love was the main thing in this life. Money is evil. I never once asked for anything when they passed. I just wanted my brothers and sisters. To know it wasn't about money. It was about us as a family. We are still close as a family. God bless
we played this at my brothers funeral the worst day of my life💔💔💔💔
Love this,makes me cry everytime
this reminds me of my dad
what a great song, and of course greater singer/songwriter. thanks for beautiful Country Music uploads.
Zero thumbs down. Thats good!
I've had this song a long time every Funeral i go to the first thing the family talks about is the will not the love one, I tell them to go home and to listen to this song.
@Christine Anderson As you should. God Bless.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
