The Will Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

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
