What I Kept
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
I found a box I meant to toss
and almost gave the whole thing away
but you had written on the side
and I could not throw your hand away

[Pre-chorus]
I keep the things that hold a name
the crates all lined up straight and true
but nothing on this shelf explains

[Chorus]
Beverly, you're the one thing I'd save
if the house went up in flame
every box I've ever packed
still comes back around to your name

[Verse 2]
You labelled every crate by hand
so nothing here was ever lost
and somehow that is how you love
careful, patient, counting the cost

[Chorus]
Beverly, you're the one thing I'd save
if the house went up in flame
every box I've ever packed
still comes back around to your name

[Bridge]
Stack it high, I don't mind the mess
long as you're the one nearby
some folks need an empty room
I just need you close by

[Chorus]
Beverly, you're the one thing I'd save
if the house went up in flame
every box I've ever packed
still comes back around to your name

[Outro]
I'll leave the boxes where they lean
you're the only label that I need
