Lyrics
THE FAMILY BIBLE
VERSE 1: THERE'S A BIBLE ON THE TABLE IN THE HALLWAY
IT HOLDS THE MEMORIES OF OUR LIVES
AND THE STORIES THAT THEY TELL
PAINT AN OVERFLOWING WELL
OF THE LOVE THAT'S LIVING INSIDE
VERSE 2: THERE'S A WHITE ROSE TIED WITH BLUE RIBBON
YOU WORE ON OUR WEDDING DAY
AND ANOTHER ROSE LYING RIGHT BESIDE IT
WE SAVED FROM MY BRIDAL BOUQUET
CHORUS: A LOCKE OF HAIR, A BOOKMARK EMBROIDERY (FADED NOW)
LIKE THE LINES OF A LONG FORGOTTEN POEM
OUR BIBLE ON THE TABLE IN THE HALLWAY
HOLDS THE HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY AND OUR HOME
VERSE 3: HERE'S A PROGRAM FROM ANNIES' PLAY OFF BROADWAY
SHE DREAMS OF FORTUNE AND FAME
A COPY OF OUR SONS' FIRST TINY FOOTPRINTS
WHEN WE LOST HIM I JUST COULDN'T
VERSE 4: HERE'S THE NOTICE THE PAPER WROTE FOR DADDY
I LOVE THE PHOTOGRAPH WE CHOSE
AND BESIDE IT THERE'S A PICTURE OF DEAR MAMA
SHE LOVED THAT OLD STRAW HAT WITH ALL THE BOWS
CHORUS: A LOCK OF HAIR, TUCKED BETWEEN THE PAGES
CHAPTER ONE IN THE OF JOB
LIKE THE VERSES THAT ARE CIRCLED BY GREAT GRANDMA
THAT REMIND US WE'RE NEVER ALONE
THE BIBLE ON THE TABLE IN THE HALLWAY
HOLDS THE HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY AND OUR HOME
TAG: THERE'S A BIBLE ON THE TABLE IN THE HALLWAY
IT HOLDS THE MEMORIES OF OUR LIVES
