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
