LYRICS:
It was Christmas time once again, and
The kids were laughing until no end.
The kids had brought some gifts for me,
"World's Greatest Teacher!" Hey, it could be.
One of the boys looked sad and blue, yet,
He hadn't been sad since he was two.
He came to me with a teary face,
I smiled back just in case,
Chorus:
He said; Hold out your hand and close your eyes,
Don't open them up, it's a surprise.
It's not much, and I know it's small,
But I want to give you all I've got.
Seven little pennies dropped to my hand,
I opened my eyes and I went to stand.
But my emotions took a hold of me,
The best feelings come even when they're free.
If those seven little pennies taught me one thing,
It's the thought that counts, so much joy it brings,
To see smiling faces from everyone.
Some will not stop until that's done.
I hugged that boy with all my might,
He said: "Sir, that's a little tight."
So much love and innocence from a child.
The world can learn from him, now ain't that wild.
Chorus:
So just, hold out your hand and close your eyes,
Please do not peak, it's a surprise.
It's not much and I know it's small,
But my mom says it's all we've got.
Seven little pennies dropped to my hand,
I opened my eyes and I went to stand,
But my emotions took a hold of me.
The best feelings always come even when they're free.
(Instrumental)
He said; Hold out your hand and close your eyes,
Don't open it them up, it's a surprise.
It's not much, and I know it's small,
But I want to give you all I' got.
Seven little pennies dropped from his hand,
I opened my eyes and I went to stand.
But my emotions took a hold of me,
The best feelings come even when they're free.
This is what Christmas is all about.
