《Box of Memories》歌词

[00:00:00] Box of Memories - Jeannie C. Riley

[00:00:06] The class reunion invitation was delivered to me today

[00:00:12] It brought back burning memories of a happy yesterday

[00:00:18] I went to my cedar chest got down on my knees

[00:00:25] The chest that once was full of hope is now a box of memories

[00:00:31] As I carefully open up the box my mind wanders back

[00:00:37] To all the things we used to do me and Billy Jack

[00:00:43] Here's the first note he wrote and gave me in the hall

[00:00:50] It asked if I'd stay after school to watch him play football

[00:00:57] The chest that once was full of hope is now a box of memories

[00:01:09] Here are the tickets dubbed for my first picture show

[00:01:14] I'd seen him talking to Rita Gail and I almost didn't go

[00:01:20] The forage I wore to the senior prom pressed and dried

[00:01:27] The scarf he tied around my hair for a motorcycle ride

[00:01:34] The chest that once was full of hope is now a box of memories

[00:01:43] Here's his lettered sweater with a patch player of the year

[00:01:48] And the handkerchief I'd used to wipe away all my tears

[00:01:54] When he was playing chicken to prove the greatness of his nerve

[00:02:00] And a speeding car killed my dreams on Dead Man's Kerb

[00:02:08] The chest that once was full of hope is now a box of memories

[00:02:16] Yes the chest that once was full of hope is now a box of memories
