the cox family - gone like the cotton lyrics
[verse 1]
a dream she recalls when they were first married
a home and children to raise
the work of her smile and the faith that she carried
it’s a blessing that still gives today
when duty called he was shielded and callous
but for her love his soul laid displayed
he weathered his storms in a church house he’d tell us
and at his table for god’s grace he’d pray
[chorus]
now they’re gone just like the cotton
and their valley’s a field full of stone
no hearth to burn, the home for their candle
and the light from their window is still
gone but never forgotten
their words carve a silent appeal
i long to return to your daddy and mama
and someday you know i will
[verse 2]
time is always a treasure
when we seem so far away
and my heart aches for life’s simple pleasures
i’ll go down that old lane
that i walk through my memory
until i can come home to stay
[chorus]
gone just like the cotton
and their valley’s a field full of stone
no hearth to burn, the home for their candle
and the light from their window is still
gone but never forgotten
their words carve a silent appeal
i long to return to your daddy and mama
and someday you know i will
