The old box and key.



The old box and key.

You found a box, and don't tell anyone else its contents or its secrets; it's not to be shared. That's all up to you, if you dare. As you stand there with your man standing over there, don't let him come near. The box is not for him; it's for you. It's old and comes from the past, and I found it at last. So I think to myself, Should I take a peek and be sneak? It has a little skeleton key I can see. I open the box, and I see a gold tarnish ring, and it's inscribed, I will always love you to the end of time. This box is mine.
