Story Behind The Song

I haven't experienced this personally, but have filtered through my jewelry box and being reminded of where the jewelry came from and people who are no longer here and felt sad.

Song Description

A woman is looking through her jewelry box feeling sad about all the memories from the past with her husband whom she's divorced from now.

Lyrics

Stone Cold

A look inside my jewelry box tells our history
Pieces of the past staring up at me
Precious gems still glitter--like the love we had
Now our spark is gone -and it's not coming back

My wedding ring looks lonely--don't wear it anymore
Those anniversary charms will never leave this drawer
The necklace from New Mexico--well, that time has passed
Sometimes jewelry is the only thing that lasts

Rubies, diamonds, sterling silver, solid gold
They're all that's left for me to hold
Bracelets, bangles, gifts that just can't warm my soul
Everything I touch leaves me feeling
Stone cold....stone cold

The ballerina in the box is twirling round and round
To a song stuck in yesterday and I can't help her out
I know just how she feels as I stand here today
Trying to move on and can't find the way

Rubies, diamonds, sterling silver, solid gold
They're all that's left for me to hold
Bracelets, bangles, gifts that just can't warm my soul
Everything I touch leaves me feeling
Stone cold...stone cold

I could melt these tarnished memories down and tell them goodbye
Let them feel that flame one last time

Rubies, diamonds, sterling silver, solid gold
They're all that's left for me to hold
Bracelets, bangles, gifts that just can't warm my soul
Everything I touch leaves me feeling
Stone cold...stone cold...stone cold
