Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1401342
Verse 1: Brandon Ratcliff
A dream she recalls when they were first married
A home and children to raise
The work of her smile and the faith that she carried
Is a blessing that still gives today

Verse 2: Brandon Ratcliff
When duty called, he was yielded and callous
But for her love, his only displayed
He weathered his storms in a church house, he'd tell us
And at his table, for God's grace, he'd pray

Chorus: Brandon Ratcliff & Suzanne Cox
Now they're gone just like the cotton
And thеir valley's a field full of stone
No hеarth to burn, the home fires they kindle
And the light from their window is still
Gone but never forgotten
Their words carve a silent appeal
I long to return to your daddy and mama
And someday you know I will

Bridge: Brandon Ratcliff & Suzanne Cox
Time is always a treasure
When we seem so far away
And my heart aches for life's simple pleasures
I'll go down that old lane
That I'll walk through my memories
Until I can come home to stay

Chorus: Brandon Ratcliff & Suzanne Cox
Gone just like the cotton
And their valley's a field full of stone
No hearth to burn, the home fires they kindle
And the light from their window is still
Gone but never forgotten
Their words carve a silent appeal
I long to return to your daddy and mama
And someday you know I will

Biography

edit bio
Brandon Ratcliff is a 24 year old singer-songwriter and artist from Cotton Valley, Louisiana. Son of Suzanne Cox of the legendary Cox Family, he was surrounded by music and began to hone his craft from a very young age. His talents quickly attracted the music business machine in Nashville, but at the age of 20, he decided to turn down a publishing deal and work on his craft….he would not take the quick and easy route. In the process of finding great co-writing partners, he befriended Pete Good (producer and co-writer) and AJ Babcock (co-writer) who would go on to become his closest friends outside of the studio. Together, they honed Ratcliff’s musical talent drawing from country, R&B and classic rock to Ratcliff’s personal inspirations such as Stevie Wonder and John Mayer. Eventually, Grammy-award winning producer Shane McAnally teamed up with them, and the result is a bold, fresh look at the seasons of relationships delivered by an artist with a clear point of view and a distinctive sound.
