From the recording Silver Linings

Lyrics

You were humming by the window
Boxes stacked around the room
Opening the old white shutters
When a sunbeam fell on you

I never knew that something so simple
Could open every shutter in my mind

I can’t believe you’re here with me
Every time, I’m still amazed
The ordinary is a melody
In the song we’re singing every day
If there’s a reason I’m alive
It’s your story all mixed up with mine
I can’t believe you’re here with me
And with you, everything’s alright

You were laughing in the kitchen
Flour on the counter, drifting to the floor
Measured out a cup of sugar
Then I added just a little more

I used to think that love was a rumor
​Till you mixed it in the rhythm of our days

I can’t believe you’re here with me
Every time, I’m still amazed
The ordinary is a melody
In the song we’re singing every day
If there’s a reason I’m alive
It’s your story all mixed up with mine
I can’t believe you’re here with me
And with you, everything’s alright

If the world feels in the wrong key
We'll find a way to stay in tune
When the years have changed our voices
I’ll still sing our song with you

I can’t believe you’re here with me
Every time, I’m still amazed
The ordinary is a melody
In the song we’re singing every day
If there’s a reason I’m alive
It’s your story all mixed up with mine
I can’t believe you’re here with me
And with you, everything’s alright
