My MINNESOTA time
stays in my HEART, and MIND
My MINNESOTA time, stays in my mind
Mostly now, at CHRISTMAS time
My DAD, he MADE, Christmas so much FUN
he couldn't stop buying little gifts for everyone
The day after Thanksgiving, DAD he started giving us every day a little GIFT
it put a big smile on his face bigger than ours and lift
My MOM she always would say now--Hank--all the Bills, and that's enough
but DAD he wouldn't stop, and would give us a little gift and say now don't tell your MOTHER , and keep it under the cuff
DAD at age twelve became a MAN
when he took over the family farm and -took--care--of--the--cows--and--worked --the --land
So he had to grow up and became a MAN just way too FAST
thats why for us KIDS we were pretty LUCKY, cause from the day after thanksgiving until new years day--DAD--got us everyday a candy bar a small gift to give himself and us, --A--- happy --and--joyous ---giving ---LIFT-------, that --in-- my--HEART--this--moment--my--smile--lasts and last--thinking--of--my--MINNESOTA--BOYHOOD---Christmas--long--ago--but--still--here--in--MY--HEART--TO--FOREVER--SMILE-smile-SMILE--remember---and--LAST-last--and--L-A-S-T
