Randy Travis - Mining For Coal Lyrics






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...

    If you look on the back of his gospel cd, you'll see that it was manufactured at Warner Bros. Wored, and Sparrow Records. 3 record companies on one label. Cool, Huh?

  17. B.... R....

    Have this one on Cassette, but wish I could find it on CD. I"ve got most of his country albums and all of his country gospel albums on CD I believe there are 6 more of his CDs I don't have yet and about 2 I have on cassette Including of the ones I don't have are the 2 he released, I think it is that he released on Dreamworks Records not long after Warner Bros. dropped him and later on signed a new deal with Warner Bros. along with Word records which is a christian music label.
