Lyrics
A Box Full of Memories by George L. Goodfellow.
1/ An old man sits on his fireside chair
A small wooden box in his lap
All that is left of eighty nine years
Unable to turn the clock back
Chorus
A box full of memories is all that he has
His life is almost gone
No one to depend on, no life left to share
A box full of memories is all that is there
2/
A picture of Clair he holds in his hands
The only true love he has known
An instant recall of how it had been
Her image remains though she's gone
Chorus
3/
A small lock of hair he's treasured so long
A gift from their only child Jane
She left home at twenty never turning round
The bitter taste rises again
Chorus
4/
A year to the hour since Clair passed away
He can not conceal his deep loss
His heart it is broken and always will be
His conscience still carries the cross
Chorus
5/
It seems only lately they laid her to rest
Time flies when you're left on your own
No matter what trouble life put their way
They managed to weather the storm
Chorus
6/
As he sits thinking of what used to be
He knows that his times at an end
He slips into dreams so real in his heart
So final yet they just begin
Chorus
7/
A box full of memories was all that he had
His time was almost gone
No one to depend on no life left to share
A box full of memories now all that is there
A box full of memories now all that is there.
