Ordinary, Lovely Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Badge on, coffee cooling Morning rounds begin New admit, a tangled story We make room for him Residents lean in close We sort the notes and plans Someone cracks a quiet joke And laughter fills the span [Pre-Chorus] By the window, noon turns gold We’ve got one more story told [Chorus] This is my ordinary, lovely day Small bright moments finding their own way You send, “What’s for dinner?” I smile at my phone I’m right where I belong, I’m right where I belong [Verse 2] Your dark eyes in my daydream Your dark hair in the sun I text Mom, “See you soon :)” The busy hours run At home, the dogs come tumbling Their paws across the floor We FaceTime Mom together Then set the table for four [Pre-Chorus] Garlic on our fingertips You steal a taste; I steal a kiss [Chorus] This is my ordinary, lovely day Small bright moments finding their own way You send, “What’s for dinner?” I smile at my phone I’m right where I belong, I’m right where I belong [Bridge] You laugh against my shoulder The sauce is running thin We dance around the kitchen While the dogs beg to come in Your hand finds mine beside the stove Your mouth brushes my cheek I thank the day for bringing us To this little place of peace [Final Chorus] This is my ordinary, lovely day Small bright moments finding their own way Your dark eyes meet mine; the dogs curl up close I’m right where I belong, with the ones I love most This is my ordinary, lovely day I’ll keep these little moments tucked away [Outro] See you soon, Mom The house is warm Your kiss, our dogs My heart at home
