Deric Ruttan I Saved Everything
In a drawer there's a key with an old wooden box
Sometimes Jesus and me, sit down and unlock another time
When you were mine
Rose petals and a letter, a piece of baby's breath
A single white feather you found the day we met
You said it came from an Angel's wings.
--CHORUS--
I saved everything that ever meant anything
precious moments in time, I kept them all alive
These pieces of the past take me back
To the greatest love I ever knew
I saved everthing but you.
In the early part of Autumn you were slippin' out of reach
I was running out of options
so I went to see the preacher and we prayed
Lord, take her chains away.
and I never stopped believin' right up til' the end
I know God must have his reasons,
but nothin makes much sense without you here...
there's only silver wings.
--CHORUS--
Cause' I saved everything, that ever meant anything
Precious moments in time, I kept them all alive
These pieces of the past take me back
To the greatest love I ever knew
I saved everything but you.
...a single white feather I found the day you left
I knew it came from an Angel's wing.
