Treasures

Verse 1

I was looking for treasures
When I stumbled upon it
In the attic one day.
It was dusty and musty;
The hinges were rusty,
But I knelt to the floor
And opened the door.

Chorus:

They were telling a story
Of the pain and the glory
Of the lives hidden in there.
From cradle to altar,
And life?s sweet hereafter;
They were telling a story
Of life?s pain and glory
That day.

Verse 2

There were photos of babies
And ancient faces,
Pasted in an old picture book.
A wedding dress wrapped
Up in tissue paper,
Faded and yellowed
With age.

Chorus:

They were telling a story
Of the pain and the glory
Of the lives in hidden in there.
From cradle to altar,
And life?s sweet hereafter;
They were telling a story
Of life?s pain and glory
Again.

Verse 3

There were medals of Honor,
A uniform tattered and torn.
A letter,? Dear Wife,
We are sorry to tell you??
You could almost imagine
The anguish she felt.

Chorus:

They were telling a story
Of the pain and the glory
Of the lives hidden in there.
From cradle to altar,
And life?s sweet hereafter;
They were telling a story
Of life?s pain and glory
Once More.

Verse 4

Obscure as it sounds?
The contents aroused?
A sort of feeling of
Triumph and loss.
It?s funny how close
To the heart and the soul
Are the timeless and ageless
Memories of old.

Chours:

Let me tell you a story
Of the pain and the glory
Of the lives hidden in there.
From cradle to altar,
And life?s sweet hereafter;
Let me tell you a story
Of life?s pain and glory?
Over?and Over?
Again!...

Thanks, for the Memories?
Hidden in there!
