Those Old Calendars Dad Wrote On

(E) Those old calendars Dad wrote (A) on...
About the weather, and things going (E) on
Gone all day, to help Uncle (B)Gene
Or just to visit a neighbor he hadn't (E) seen

Cold dry wind, and twelve (A) below
December 20 shortest day of the (E) year
Florence working late, have to drive in heavy (B) snow
Kids all growed up, wish they were (E) here

Like the song I sang when I was (A) young
Just old and in the (E) way
His notes and rhymes lay here (B) unsung
But now I am putting them into (E) play

Those notes and rhymes the calendars(A)hold
Are my link to past-gone (E) days
My lips begin to quiver, tho no longer (B) cold
I'm certain that Dad wrote them to (E) play
