Sue Eldredge - Cody's Gift lyrics

One day when I was feeling blue A knock came at my door. It was so gentle that I questioned "Did I hear it? Are you sure? I answered to see a little friend Was standing there outside. Smiling from ear to ear Excited, filled with pride. He said, "I've come to say hello And bring you a surprise. He presented me two rocks Each one a different size. "One's for you," he said As he handed me the prize And one was for my husband Who he called "the other guy". Could you imagine little things Like rocks could lift you up? Cody in his innocence Knows how to fill life's cup. When do we learn simplicity Is somehow not enough? We work hard to build our treasures And fill your life with stuff. If you're feeling worn out Listen carefully to hear It may be a friend is Bringing you some cheer. If not I'll send you Cody I'm sure he has some more. Next time you see a rock outside Perhaps you didn't hear the door. (a true story)
