Artist/Band: Randy Travis
Lyrics for Song: Mining For Coal
Lyrics for Album: No Holdin' Back [1989]



(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset)



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...
