Ordinary Life
|
|
(Bonnie Baker/Connie Harrington)
|
|
Shelly's at the kitchen table, cup of coffee the morning paper
|
When he walks in she's so surprised to see the tears in his eyes
|
He says, "I love you, I'm so sorry, but bigger dreams are waiting for me
|
But I can't do this anymore
|
|
Pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine
|
Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
|
We go to church, go to work, so picture perfect that it hurts
|
I feel like I'm trapped inside this ordinary life"
|
|
Shelly's at the kitchen table, crayons, construction paper
|
"Hey Mom, look what I drew, it's a picture of me and you"
|
And later when he says his prayers, she runs her fingers through his hair
|
So thankful for every day
|
|
They pay their bills, watch TV, day in, day out, it's all they need
|
Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
|
They go to church, go to school, everyday it's something new
|
Precious are the days as they go by in their ordinary life
|
|
Phone rings, he's calling from the airport
|
It's midnight, he's all alone again
|
He says, "I can't believe how much I've missed
|
And what I wouldn't give
|
|
To pay the bills, watch TV, day in, day out the same routine
|
Mow the grass, fix the leak, just to fix it again
|
Go to church, go to work, I can't tell you how this hurts
|
I miss my son, I miss my wife and my ordinary life"
