Dimes Lyrics

It was my tenth birthday

She handed me my gift

She said, I want to tell you something

Before you open it

Years from now I hope you're gonna

Look back on this day this day

And I hope that you'll remember

What I am going to say

You're little now and days go slow

But child those years go fast

Before you know it I'm gonna be

A memory from your past

But you need to know no matter

Where you go or what you do

I'm always going to be right there with you

You watch for dimes

You'll see them all the time

And every time you do

You'll know I'm there too

When you're walking down the street

Something shiny at your feet

When you're down to your last prayer

Take a look you'll find me there

And every single time you're feeling down

You just lift those eyes and take a look around

And you watch for dimes

Oh, watch for dimes

So she handed me my present

There was a jar of dimes inside

She'd been saving them for ages

I could feel her love and pride

That was oh so long ago

She's long since passed away

But I know that she's still with me every day

I watch for dimes

I see them all the time

And every time I do

I know that she's here too

When I'm walking down the street

Something shiny at my feet

When I'm down to my last prayer

I take a look and she's right there

And every single time I'm feeling down

I just lift my eyes and take a look around

And watch for dimes

A lot of things have changed since I was ten

But I'm making you the promise

That she made to me back then

You watch for dimes

You'll see them all the time

And every time you do

You'll know I'm there too

When you're walking down the street

Something shiny at your feet

When you're down to your last prayer

Take a look you'll find me there

And every single time you're feeling down

You just lift those eyes and take a look around

And you watch for dimes

Oh, watch for dimes

You watch for dimes
