VERSE 1
We followed Grandfather down to the river
He said he had a secret that he wanted to share
Our eyes grew wide with anticipation
As he made copper coins appear from thin air ... they were...

CHORUS
Pennies, pennies he found in parking lots
He would pick them up
And make a wish
And slide them in his shoes
They were magical pennies
Making his dreams come true…

VERSE 2
He said, “Close your eyes and go over ever detail
When you make a wish you hope might come true
And picture in your heart who the wish is really good for
Or you might wind up with only holes in your shoes”

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
My little brother who was always a Doubting Thomas
Said, “How do you know you’ll really get the wish you need?”
Grandpa stood up and spread his arms wide
And said, “Children, you are all the proof I need to believe” ... in those...

REPEAT CHORUS

And to this day I’ve got to say
That I’m believing, too, In the magical pennies
Making my dreams come true
