ORDINARY MOMENTS
(Written by Patrick Jason Matthews, Lee Thomas Miller, & Ben Hayslip)

He said I'm gonna miss the way
She called me by my middle name
When she got mad
And the million times she said I swear
I can't do nothing with this hair
Looking like an angel standing there
Yeah, I'm sure gonna miss that
And the way she'd read her bible on that ole porch swing
And pray for me first thing every morning

He said I think about those Christmas Eves
And those 43 anniversaries
And the day she gave me my three sons, and the thousand battles lost and won
And how proud she was to get this house, and how sad she was when the kids moved out
Don't get me wrong, those memories are golden
But what I think I'll miss the most
Are those extraordinary ordinary moments

He said I see us in the kitchen now
She'd pull that pan of biscuits out
And swat my hand
Lord, she loved to go town
Didn't like to buy but she'd sure look around
And I'd look for things to fuss about
And she'd say that's just like a man

He said I think about those Christmas Eves
And those 43 anniversaries
And the day she gave me my three sons, and the thousand battles lost and won
And how proud she was to get this house, and how sad she was when the kids moved out
Don't get me wrong, those memories are golden
But what I think I'll miss the most
Are those extraordinary ordinary moments

Every day with her was more amazing than the day before
Wish I had a couple more extraordinary ordinary moments
