The Box by Randy Travis - Lyrics & Covers
The Box
Randy Travis
okbell_star
Sing
ON THE TOP SHELF
IN THE CLOSET
IN THE WORKSHOP
WHERE HE SPENT HIS
EXTRA TIME
WAS A DUSTY
WOODEN BOX
THAT I HAD NEVER
NOTICED
TILL THAT NIGHT
THEN WE SAT IT ON
THE TABLE
CAREFULLY
WE OPENED UP THE TOP
AND STARED INTO
THE MEMORIES
DADDY KEPT INSIDE
THE BOX
THERE WAS A LETTER
FROM MAMA
WHEN SHE WENT OUT
TO RENO
TO HELP HER SISTER OUT
IN SIXTY- TWO
AND A FLOWER
FROM HAWAII
WHERE THEY WENT ON
VACATION
WAS THE FIRST TIME
THAT MY DADDY
EVER FLEW
AND THE POCKET KNIFE
I GAVE
TO HIM ON FATHER'S DAY
YEARS AGO
I THOUGHT IT
HAD BEEN LOST
WE ALL THOUGHT
HIS HEART WAS MADE
OF SOLID ROCK
BUT THAT WAS
LONG BEFORE
WE FOUND THE BOX
I GUESS WE ALWAYS
KNEW IT
BUT I LOVE YOU
WAS HARD
FOR HIM TO SAY
SOME MEN
SHOW IT EASILY
SOME JUST NEVER SEEM
TO FIND A WAY
BUT THAT NIGHT
I BEGAN TO SEE
A SOFTER SIDE
OF SOMEONE
I HAD LOST
I SAW THE LOVE
HE KEPT INSIDE
THE FIRST TIME
WHEN WE OPENED UP
THE BOX
THERE WAS A PICTURE
THAT WAS TAKEN
WHEN HE AND MOM
WERE DATIN'
STANDIN' BY HIS
1940 FORD
AND A FADED
LEATHER BIBLE
HE GOT WHEN HE WAS
BAPTIZED
I GUESS NO ONE
UNDERSTOOD HIM
LIKE THE LORD
AND THE POEM
HE HAD WRITTEN
ABOUT HIS WIFE
AND CHILDREN
THE TENDER WORDS
HE WROTE WERE
QUITE A SHOCK
WE ALL THOUGHT
HIS HEART WAS MADE
OF SOLID ROCK
BUT THAT WAS LONG
BEFORE WE FOUND
THE BOX
WE ALL THOUGHT
HIS HEART WAS MADE
OF SOLID ROCK
BUT THAT WAS LONG
BEFORE WE FOUND
THE BOX
