Artist: Randy Travis Album: No Holdin' Back (1989) Title: Mining For Coal
Lyrics Mining For Coal(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset)
I've searched the world over all of my life Just looking for something To make my love shine Like a candle that burns in the night But I came up with nothin' 'Til I looked in your eyes Deeper and deeper inside.
And all of the treasures I found in your soul Was like finding a diamond When you're mining for coal.
I've been a fool for glitter and gold And women that sparkle shiny and cold Like a statue carved out of ice They shimmer like tinsel On a blue Christmas night But they never were quite so bright.
As all of the treasures That loving you holds It's like finding a diamond When you're mining for coal.
I was a miner And you were a rock in the dust But you became flawless When you were you polished by love.
And when I found you I lost all control I found me a diamond Just mining for coal.
And when I found you I lost all control I found me a diamond Just mining for coal... |
