Three Little Pennies - Doug Stone[00:00:00]
There was an old blind man[00:00:00]
Who stood on the corner down town[00:00:04]
He was holding a cup[00:00:12]
Filled up with nothing[00:00:16]
From the christmas shopping crowd[00:00:19]
And though i barely came up to the top of his cane[00:00:25]
I reached up and gave him[00:00:31]
Every cent to my name [00:00:33]
Three little pennies [00:00:37]
Were all that i had[00:00:40]
One that i'd found[00:00:43]
Two from my dad[00:00:46]
Three little pennies not much of a gift[00:00:49]
But Dad said "that's plenty if it's all you can give "[00:00:54]
That evening my dad told a wonderful story to me[00:01:05]
About a child and the manger [00:01:17]
The wise men who came bearing gifts[00:01:20]
On the first christmas eve [00:01:24]
There was a part i'm sure he made up[00:01:29]
About a stable boy who couldn't give much [00:01:35]
Three little pennies [00:01:41]
Were all that he had[00:01:44]
One that he'd found[00:01:47]
Two from his dad[00:01:50]
Three little pennies not much of a gift[00:01:52]
But Dad said "that's plenty if it's all you can give "[00:01:58]
Next morning was christmas[00:02:10]
And i had prayed hard for a bike[00:02:14]
But all that i found was the tiniest box[00:02:22]
With three shiny pennies inside[00:02:28]
And i was so disapointed because i had been good[00:02:34]
But times had been bad so i understood [00:02:40]
And daddy said:[00:02:46]
"three little pennies [00:02:48]
Were all that you had[00:02:50]
But you gave them freely[00:02:53]
So i gave them back[00:02:56]
Three little pennies not much of a gift[00:02:59]
You'r bike is outside because you've learned how to give"[00:03:05]
