Opening Gifts
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Music by the "Eyde Evan Hyde Trio"
Kevin Kammeraad

I’m opening up my gifts
And I really hope I like them
‘Cause I don’t like pretending.

‘Cause no matter what it is
I’ll surely say “it’s nice,”
But I’ll know you only bought it
‘cause it had a cheapy little price.

But I’ll sit and hold my smile
Just waiting for it to end,
And when again you ask
“You really like it?”
I’ll go and say yes again.

…Opening up my gifts
…I just keep pretending
…it’s nice
…but I’ll sit and hold my smile
…and when again you ask,
“You really like it?”
I’ll go and say,
“Yes” …
