It’s an old box I put away

With memories of other days

Up in the attic it will stay

Till they haul it all away

Ooh ooh no sad farewells

I’ll just keep it on the shelf

An old box but don’t you see

Still means a lot to me

An old hat I used to where

A pretty lock of baby’s hair

Birthday cards, magazines

My grandpa’s wedding ring

I don’t know exactly why

But losing it would make me cry

An old box of memories

Really mean a lot to me

There’s someone I used to know

How many years ago

Photographs, a radio

We used to listen oh

For years I’d sing upon

The old front porch at home

Memories from other days

Can’t bear to throw away

An old hat I used to wear

A pretty lock of baby’s hair

Birthday cards, magazines

My grandpa’s wedding ring

I don’t know exactly why

But losin' it would make me cry

An old box of memories

Really mean a lot to me

An old hat I used to where

A pretty lock of baby’s hair

Birthday cards, magazines

My grandpa’s wedding ring

It’s an old box I put away

With memories of other days

Up in the attic it will stay

Till they haul us all away

Ooh no sad farewells

I’ll just keep it on the shelf

An old box but don’t you see

It really means a lot to me
