The Box Lyrics

When my daughter was just a child

On Christmas morn wanted her to smile

We bought toys that were guaranteed to please

Thought for sure they would give her joy

What would be her favorite toy?

Surprised when she walked away from the tree

Toys were scattered everywhere

Tossed aside without a care

Only thing was beyond compare

You see

The box

The box

She truly loved that box

Ate and slept there

Lived savoir fare

Just wanted the box

We figured in a couple of days

She'd get over her cardboard craze

Then find her toys and have herself some fun

Time went on and nothing changed

It become a house then a mountain range

Her imagination was on the run

Toys were scattered everywhere

Tossed aside without a care

Only thing was beyond compare

You see

The box

The box

She truly loved that box

Ate and slept there

Lived savoir fare

Just wanted the box

Crayons, paper, paste and glue

Scissors glitter and yarn too

Water colors, singing cheerful tunes

Each day the box was something new

Toys were scattered everywhere

Tossed aside without a care

Only thing was beyond compare

You see

The box

The box

She truly loved that box

Ate and slept there

Lived savoir fare

Just wanted the box

The box

The box

She truly loved that box

Ate and slept there

Lived savoir fare

Just wanted the box
