Gifts
Did You hear about that man named Bob,
Who finally got a job?
So he could have some money,
And buy something for his honey
He bought the special gift, and held it in his hand
As he Hoped everything, would go as planned
When he was leaving from work, he felt the moment was right
But when he came home, he was in fright
His Honey,
Bought the same gift, with her money
The money she made from her job,
Selling corn on the cob
She bought a special gift too
And said, "It's especially for you"
As the love filled the room, the waterfalls drowned their eyes
Then the two lovers, came to realize
That the special gifts bought,
Filled with endless care and thought
Were bought, to win the others heart
But as their love drowned them, they knew they won them from the start.
