The Box (Album Version)-Randy Travis

[00:07.72]On the top shelf in the closet [00:10.47]In the workshop where he spent his extra time [00:16.40]Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time [00:24.97]And we set on the table and carefully we opened up the top [00:34.53]And stared into the memory [00:38.97]Daddy kept inside the box [00:41.53] [00:42.97]There was a letter from mamma when she went out to Reno [00:49.65]To help her sister out in 62 [00:55.47]And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation [01:01.59]It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew [01:05.78] [01:07.65]And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day [01:13.03] [01:13.78]Years ago I thought it had been lost [01:18.03] [01:19.28]We all thought his heart was made from solid rock [01:23.66] [01:26.03]But that was long before we found the box [01:30.22] [01:35.91]I guess we always knew it but I love you was hard for him to say [01:43.91]Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way [01:51.66] [01:52.91]But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost [02:00.85] [02:01.97]I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box [02:09.28] [02:10.42]There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating [02:17.11]Standing by his 1944 and the faded leather Bible he got when he was baptised [02:28.92]I guess no one understood him like the Lord [02:35.44]And the poem that he had written about his wife and children [02:41.19]The tender words he spoke were quite a shock [02:46.56]We all thought his heart was made of solid rock [02:51.06] [02:53.31]But that was long before we found the box [02:57.56] [02:58.75]Yes that was long before we found the box
