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 dayquestioning 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…
