Mining For Coal — Randy Travis

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 nothing Till 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
