LUCKY PENNY

You found a penny in the park
Told me they bring good luck
I said I'm not superstitious
But in God I surely trust

You placed it in my shaking hand
And squeezed my fingers shut
Choked out, I know you do
But, for me, it's not enough

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I felt the tears fall on my fist
I held you tight, savored your kiss
Whispered, thank you, Beautiful
You can never have too much
What kind of fool, Love
Would ever think to turn down luck
~~*~~

The doctors said to be prepared
I held you while you cried
There were new pennies every time
That I opened up my eyes

You leaned in to treasure me
A smile on your ravaged face
Then sobbed, you win, I'm giving in
Baby, teach me how to pray

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
People toss out pennies
Like they discard good advice
Underestimate the Good Lord
See worthless merchandise
The faithful see the message
Like a beacon in the dark
The best luck God ever gave me
Was that penny in the park
~~*~~

~~~~*Chorus*~~~
I felt the tears fall on my fist
I held you tight, savored your kiss
Whispered thank you, Beautiful
You can never have too much
What kind of fool, Love
Would ever think to turn down luck
~~*~~
