Ordinary Splendor

Written 1992

Tab

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…
