“ MY FATHER’S  CHAIR “
Walter Garland
Joe Alford
VERSE 1
                             To you it might just be some wood, old and worn sitting by the window
                             To me it’s filled with memories of the things we did and the places that we would go
                             I sailed on a pirate ship searching for gold
                             I held on to every word of the stories that he told
                             It seems like I could go almost anywhere in my father’s chair
VERSE 2
                             We were there at Normandy, we did our part and helped them storm the beaches
                             I handed Mr. Ruth the bat just before he pointed to the bleachers
                             We crossed the Atlantic on the Spirit of St. Louis
                             When we reached the other side they all acted like they knew us
                             It seems like I could go almost anywhere in my father’s chair
CHORUS 1
                             It’s been twenty years since the day he went away
                             When I close my eyes it seems like only yesterday
                              And sometimes I can almost see him sitting there in my father’s chair
VERSE 3
                             Jesse James, my dad and I rode underneath that western sky together
                             And I stood by as Paul Revere said those four words that we’d all hear forever
                             I held onto our flag the day we landed on the moon
                             I shed a tear in Dallas on that fateful afternoon
                            I learned how to love and I learned to care in my father’s chair
VERSE 4
                             So to you it might be some wood, old and worn sitting by the window
                             To me it’s filled with memories of the things we did and the places that we would go
                             Sometimes in the evening before he goes to sleep
                             My little boy comes in and curls up next to me
                             I tell him all the things that I learned sitting there in my father’s chair
CHORUS 2
                             It’s been twenty years since the day he went away
                             When I close my eyes it seems like only yesterday
                             And sometimes I can almost see him sitting there in my father’s chair
