Lyrics

There’s a box in the attic not like all the rest
It captures time, keeps it static
But only saves the best
Now and then I crack it open
And throw something else inside
But tonight I’ve got some time

So I just sit here a while and remember
As I make my way through this stuff
Every moment from these become sweet memories
When I’ve come far enough

Here’s a paper a little tattered
How could I forget
The greatest news that ever mattered
I hadn’t met you yet
Underneath a stack of letters carefully tied in lace
Takes me back to a different place

And I sit a while and remember
As I make my way through this stuff
Every moment from these become sweet memories
When I’ve come far enough

Every word that came from you
When love was innocent and new
Before we headed for a fall
There were times I know I cried
And felt so empty like I died
But it’s the laughter I recall

There’s a voice down the staircase
She’s come home at last
And I sit alone in this dusty old place
No longer in the past
This little note she wrote this morning
I put it right on top
It says I love you and I will never stop

So I smile and remember
How I make my way through this stuff
Every moment like these become sweet memories
When I’ve come far enough
