Deric Ruttan I Saved Everything Lyrics

I Saved Everything Lyrics

In a drawer there's a key with an old wooden box

Sometimes Jesus and me, sit down and unlock another time

When you were mine



Rose petals and a letter,a piece of baby's breath

A single white feather you found the day we met

You said it came from an Angel's wings.



--CHORUS--



I saved everything that ever meant anything

precious moments in time, I kept them all alive

These pieces of the past take me back

To the greatest love I ever knew

I saved everthing but you.



In the early part of Autumn you were slippin' out of reach

I was running out of options

so I went to see the preacher and we prayed

Lord, take her chains away.



and I never stopped believin' right up til' the end

I know God must have his reasons,

but nothin makes much sense without you here...

there's only silver wings.



--CHORUS--



Cause' I saved everything, that ever meant anything

Precious moments in time, I kept them all alive

These pieces of the past take me back

To the greatest love I ever knew

I saved everything but you.



...a single white feather I found the day you left

I knew it came from an Angel's wing.
