Mining For Coal Lyrics - Randy Travis

(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...
