(Randy Travis/Buck Moore)

On the top shelf in the closet,
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time
And we set on the table and carefully, we opened up the top
And stared into the memory
Daddy kept inside the box

There was a letter from mamma, when she went out to Reno
To help her sister out in 62
And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew

And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
Years ago, I thought it had been lost
We all thought his heart was made from 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 easy and some just never seem to find the way
But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost
I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box

There was a picture that was taken,when he and Mom were dating
Standing by his 1944, and the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptised
I guess no one understood him like the Lord

And the poem that he had written, about his wife and children
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock

We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
But that was long before we found the box
Yes that was long before we found the box

  • Diggin Up Bones
    "Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
    I set it on the table and I talked to it till four
    I read some old love letters right up till the break of dawn
    Yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones..."
  • On The Other Hand
    "On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
    And hold you close to me, all night long.
    So many lover's games I could play with you
    and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong..."
  • Forever And Ever, Amen
    "You may think that I'm talking foolish
    You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
    You may wonder how I can promise you now
    This love that I feel for you..."
  • Too Gone Too Long
    "You've been too gone for too long
    It's too late to come back now
    Its been so long since you walked out my door
    Now you're just an old song nobody sings any more..."
  • Deeper Than The Holler
    "Well I've heard those city singers singin 'bout how they can love
    Deeper than the oceans higher than the stars above
    Well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all
    But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall..."
  • Is It Still Over?
    "Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
    And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
    You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
    Just how the dream went..."
  • Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart
    "Since the day I was led to temptation
    And in weakness did let your love down
    I have prayed that time and compassion
    You'd come around..."
  • He Walked On Water
    "He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
    He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
    His teeth were gone but what the heck
    I thought that he walked on water..."
