BIG SOFT CHAIR

Daddy first saw it in the store.
Front window of the showroom floor.
For newlyweds times were tough.
Paying for it would be rough.
But he couldn’t get it off of his mind.
It rocked, it swiveled and it reclined.
They saved up for half a year,
And finally bought that big soft chair.

Oh, that big soft chair…it’s where he rests his bones.
After working hard all day…it lets him know that he’s home.
It’s where he’d take his nap…‘til us kids found him there…
and pile up on his lap…in that big soft chair.

Well, it’s really held up fine.
It’s been repaired a couple of times.
Us kids are grown and gone.
But, that chair just keeps hanging on.
It’s great when we come back home…
‘cause now the grandkids won’t leave it alone.
Oh, Dad sure loves to share…
his stories in that big soft chair.

Oh, that big soft chair…it’s where he rests his bones.
After working hard all day…it lets him know that he’s home.
He’ll fall asleep at night…or sometimes think and stare.
Says life sure feels right…in that big soft chair.

Well he hasn’t got a lot, but he never needed much.
Just a warm smile and a woman’s touch.
A house full of love; a family that’s close…
are the things he treasures most.

Oh, that big soft chair…it’s where he rests his bones.
After working hard all day…it lets him know that he’s home.
He’ll fall asleep at night…or sometimes think and stare.
Says life sure feels right…
life just feels right…………..in that big soft chair…in that big soft chair.
