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
