ordinary splendor

January, 1992

you might be more than you think,
you might be more than you imagine,
the life you call a kitchen sink,
sometimes looks like a Christmas pageant to me with

all the ordinary splendor of a day,
all the ordinary splendor of a day..

you might love more than you know,
you might find the love around you,
chasing down that hidden glow.
now the fireflies surround you with

all the ordinary splendor of a day,
all the ordinary splendor of a day

questioning each one you meet,
making sure you’re out of danger…
if you met love on the street,
you might take her for a stranger..

in the shuffle of your sighs
lies the sadness of a lifetime,
but in the brightness of your eyes
I’ve seen the sparkle of a secret rhyme about

all the ordinary splendor of a day
all the ordinary splendor of a day
all the ordinary splendor.. of a day…
