The Box(Album Version) - Randy Travis

On the top shelf in the closet
最高的架子上的壁橱里
In the workshop where he spent his extra time
他在实验室度过了他的空余时间
Was a dust wooden box that I had never noticed till that time
那是一个满是灰尘的木盒子我从未注意到直到那时候
And we set on the table and carefully we opened up the top
我们摆好餐桌的时候小心翼翼地打开最顶层
And stared into the memory
开始进入了回忆
Daddy kept inside the box
爸爸在盒子里面
There was a letter from mamma when she went out to Reno
这里有一封信，是妈妈去里诺的时候寄过来的
To help her sister out in 62
去帮她姐姐在六十二岁的时候解脱
And a flower from Hawaii when they went on vacation
和一朵小花是她去夏威夷度假的时候寄的
It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew
那是我爸爸第一次离开
And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day
和我在父亲节送他的小刀
Years ago I thought it had been lost
许多年过去了我以为它弄丢了
We all thought his heart was made from solid rock
我们都认为他的心是顽石做成的
But that was long before we found the box
但是那是很久之后我们发现这个盒子
I guess we always knew it but I love you was hard for him to say
我猜想我们总是了解他的但是我爱你很难让他说出口
Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way
有些人觉得很容易说出口但是有些人从未找到方式去表达
But that night I began to see the softer side of some I had lost
但是那天晚上我开始看到他内心柔软的一面，我以前一直没发现
I saw the love he kept inside the first time we opened up the box
当我打开盒子的时候我看见了他满满的爱藏在盒子里
There was a picture that was taken when he and Mom were dating
这里有一张他和妈妈第一次约会时的照片
Standing by his 1944 and the faded leather Bible he got when he was baptised
在一九四四年他穿着已经褪色了的皮鞋拿着圣经在施礼的时候
I guess no one understood him like the Lord
我想没有一个人像上帝那样了解他
And the poem that he had written about his wife and children
那些他写的关于他孩子和妻子的诗歌
The tender words he spoke were quite a shock
那些温柔的词句让人惊讶
We all thought his heart was made of solid rock
我们都以为他的心是顽石做的
But that was long before we found the box
但是很久之后我们发现了这个盒子才知道并不是那样的
Yes that was long before we found the box
对的，是我们很久之后发现这个盒子才知道的
