lyrics

What do you do with a gift?
What do you do with a gift?
Do you keep it, return it,
or even notice it exists?
What do you do with a gift?

And what do you do with a kiss?
What do you do with a kiss?
Do you accept it, return it
to the sender's lips?
Oh, what do you do with a kiss?

Honey bee still, here's a hornet a' comin'
Straight for your garland of roses
That smart remark really stung, but I'm humming
A much different tune than I'd ever have chosen

What do you do with a gift?
A simple and heart-given gift
Do you wish it were larger, or sooner,
or cleverer?
What do you do with a gift?

And what do you do with a wish?
What do you do with a wish?
Do you take it for granted
or well-up so quickly?
Oh, what do you do with a wish?

Honey bee brave, here's a wild warp approaching
Sniffing your pink lemonade
Perhaps the best medicine is just poison
Now we're spinning 'round quickly like a 78

What do you do with a gift?
Sparkling eyes, a warm gentle kiss
Do you expect it to resemble
ones you've already been given?
Or will you open your hands to mine?
It's a present, but don't close your eyes...
