| Tied up in a bundle is a stack of love letters
|
| From a boy that meant trouble when I didn’t know better
|
| A green cat’s eye marble I won in fifth grade
|
| A schoolyard trophy from the toughest guy I played
|
| I had an old dog that was loyal and sure
|
| She’s in heaven now and these tags are hers
|
| A picture my daughter drew when she was just four
|
| Of the angel that kissed her the hour she was born
|
| Up in the attic, up in the attic
|
| Is a treasure of paper, glass and fabric?
|
| I forget that’s it’s there but I’m glad I still have it
|
| There is an old box I keep safe in the attic
|
| A collection of glass horses, a stack of 45s
|
| A ring my mom gave me when she was still alive
|
| A diary of secrets I had to confess
|
| A car key, a house key, my first wedding dress
|
| Up in the attic, up in the attic
|
| Is a treasure of paper, glass and fabric
|
| I forget that’s it’s there but I’m glad I still have it
|
| There is an old box I keep safe in the attic
|
| Now I know it’s just the memories that finally last
|
| I know the use for these things long ago passed
|
| But it’s just one small box I can’t seem to lose
|
| Through so many changes and so many moves
|
| Up in the attic, up in the attic
|
| Is a treasure of paper, glass and fabric
|
| I forget that’s it’s there but I’m glad I still have it
|
| There is an old box I keep safe in the attic |
