Jeannie C. Riley Box of Memories Lyrics:
The class reunion invitation was delivered to me
today It brought back burning mem'ries of a happy
yesterday I went to my cedar chest got down on my
knees The chest that once was full of hope is now
a box of memories As I carefully open up the box
my mind wanders back To all the things we used to
do me and Billy Jack Here's the first note he
wrote and gave me in the hall It asked if I'd stay
after school to watch him play football The chest
that once was full of hope is now a box of
memories

Here are the tickets dubbed for my first picture
show I'd seen him talkin' to Rita Gail and I
almost didn't go The corsage I wore to the senior
prom pressed and dried The scarf he tied around my
hair for a motorcycle ride The chest that once was
full of hope is now a box of memories Here's his
lettered sweater with a patch Player of the year
And the handkerchief I'd used to wipe away all my
tears When he was playing chicken to prove the
greatness of his nerve And a speeding car killed
my dreams on Dead Man's Curve The chest that once
was full of hope is now a box of memories Yes the
chest that once was full of hope is now a box of
memories
