Kim Koelewijn - a box filled with things lyrics

<b>a box filled with things</b> by <i>Kim Koelewijn</i><br />He sits in his chair watching tv

Raises his glass to her and their 60 years

Gets calls everyday from the lady downstairs

To ask him if he’s ok, he pretends he’s not there

cause he knows what they will tell him

That she’s not coming back, that it’s time to move on

And he knows that he can’t tell them

That to him she’s still there, to him she’s not gone

Cause he still has this box

Filled with memories

With her favorite dress

Postcards from overseas

Pictures of her and her best friend

Her diaries, the letters that he sent

Helps him through everyday

No matters what live brings

But he knows when he goes it will just be

A box filled with things

He goes outside the sun shines on his face

He goes to the park to their favorite place

She always loved the fall and it’s bright colored leaves

And he is smiling as they fall from the trees

And he knows what they are saying

That he’s a silly old man who talks to a ghost

And he knows that he’s not staying

But as long as he’s here they will always be close

Cause he still has this box

Filled with memories

With her favorite dress

Postcards from overseas

Pictures of her and her best friend

Her diaries, the letters that he sent

Helps him through everyday

No matters what live brings

But he knows when he goes it will just be

A box filled with things
