《The Box(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:07] On the top shelf in the closet

[00:00:10] In the workshop where he spent his extra time

[00:00:16] Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time

[00:00:24] And we set on the table and carefully we opened up the top

[00:00:34] And stared into the memory

[00:00:38] Daddy kept inside the box

[00:00:42] There was a letter from mamma when she went out to Reno

[00:00:49] To help her sister out in 62

[00:00:55] And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation

[00:01:01] It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew

[00:01:07] And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day

[00:01:13] Years ago I thought it had been lost

[00:01:19] We all thought his heart was made from solid rock

[00:01:26] But that was long before we found the box

[00:01:35] I guess we always knew it but I love you was hard for him to say

[00:01:43] Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way

[00:01:52] But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost

[00:02:01] I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box

[00:02:10] There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating

[00:02:17] Standing by his 1944 and the faded leather Bible he got when he was baptised

[00:02:28] I guess no one understood him like the Lord

[00:02:35] And the poem that he had written about his wife and children

[00:02:41] The tender words he spoke were quite a shock

[00:02:46] We all thought his heart was made of solid rock

[00:02:53] But that was long before we found the box

[00:02:58] Yes that was long before we found the box
