Ordinary Days

JJ Heller


It’s the sunlight through the curtains
Morning pushing back the night
It’s your faces in the kitchen
Little moons of borrowed light

On your tiptoes always reaching
For something bigger than you are
It’s holding you and knowing
That I’ve caught a shooting star

I know it won’t always be like this
Eyes are open I don’t want to miss

These ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me want to stay
In these ordinary days

It’s the way you feel the music
Spinning like the falling leaves
You are poetry in motion
And you want to dance with me

I know it won’t always be like this
Eyes are open I don’t want to miss

These ordinary days
These ordinary days
In a million little ways
You make me want to stay
In these ordinary days

Oh, the days are moving slowly
But the years go by so fast
Let me linger in these moments
Before they turn into the past
How I want to make them last
