Ordinary Miracles

At six weeks you learned to smile

At three months you learned to laugh

At six months you cut a tooth

and at ten months you took a step

At two years you made a best friend

at three years you rode a bike

at four years you learned to skate

and at five years you learned to write

CHORUS

Just ordinary miracles

Ordinary miracles

but all the same they're miracles to me

the days that I'll remember well

have a simple kind of wonderful

of ordinary miracles

Your silky head beneath my chin

for bedtime books and lullabies

your angel kiss upon my cheek

your teddy bear clutched to your side

How soon the bike wheels turn to car wheels

the lullabies to rock and roll

The teddy bears to pretty girls

and instead of you these thoughts I'll hold

CHORUS

Just ordinary miracles

Ordinary miracles

but all the same they're miracles to me

the days that Ill remember well

have a simple kind of wonderful

of ordinary miracles

BRIDGE

and I know the day will come

that you'll spread your wing and fly

but I'll treasure these moments all my life

A gentle kind of wonderful

the sweetest days are always full

of ordinary miracles

each time I hold you near

it's an ordinary miracle
