This Is My Special Week

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Monday brought a paper cup And a bus that showed up late You laughed when I spilled sugar On the sleeve beside your name By Tuesday, rain was tapping On the bakery glass You drew a crooked sun there And said, “This week might last” [Pre-Chorus] I usually count the hours Till Friday sets me free But every little ordinary thing Kept turning gold for me [Chorus] This is my special week I can feel it in my feet Every door I nearly missed Opened when you looked at me No parade, no grand design Just your hand fitting in mine For once I’m not waiting for the next thing This is my special week [Verse 2] Wednesday found us cooking With one pan and half a lime We burned the first potatoes Then ate them just fine Thursday, you left a note there Underneath my keys: “Don’t forget to notice How good today can be” [Pre-Chorus] I usually keep my wishes Folded small and out of sight But you made room around them Like a window opening wide [Chorus] This is my special week I can feel it in my feet Every door I nearly missed Opened when you looked at me No parade, no grand design Just your hand fitting in mine For once I’m not waiting for the next thing This is my special week [Bridge] Friday came with tired eyes And a crack along the screen Still, we took the long way home Past the old community green Saturday, the kettle sang Sunday settled soft and slow I don’t need a perfect life I just needed this to know [Final Chorus] This is my special week I can feel it in my feet Every door I nearly missed Opened when you looked at me No parade, no grand design Just your hand fitting in mine For once I’m not waiting for the next thing This is my special week This is my special week All the small things felt complete Monday through the Sunday rain I won’t hurry through again No parade, no grand design Just your hand fitting in mine For once I’m not waiting for the next thing This is my special week [Outro] I’ll keep the note beneath my keys And let the good days speak
