Thank You, Ordinary Day

Lyrics

No parade, no ribbon, no band on the street
Just the bus on time and a seat that's free
Toast on the table, a text from a friend
An ordinary morning I didn't expect to end

The woman at the corner shop knew my name
The rain held off just long enough for the washing to be saved
Nothing was golden, nothing was grand
But I was holding everything, right there in my hand

Thank you, ordinary day
For the little things you gave away
For the tea gone cold and the song on the air
For the friends who are somewhere, somewhere there
Thank you, ordinary day
Come on, sing it, sing it all the way
Nothing wrong with plain and true
I'm so glad that I got to spend it with you

We sat on the steps with a paper bag of buns
Laughing at nothing, the best kind of fun
The sun came sideways through the leaves
And I thought, this is plenty, this is all I need

Some days will be loud and some days will be slow
Some days we won't know where the good was, but oh
Look back and you'll see it, a thread running through
The ordinary days are the ones that hold you

Thank you, ordinary day
For the little things you gave away
For the tea gone cold and the song on the air
For the friends who are somewhere, somewhere there
Thank you, ordinary day
Come on, sing it, sing it all the way
Nothing wrong with plain and true
I'm so glad that I got to spend it with you

Thank you, ordinary day
Thank you, ordinary day
