Lyrics
Another Ordinary Christmas
same old dusty decorations
and the same old worn out songs
same old party preparations
same old guests who stay too long
and the same religious posturing
and same consumer greed
but there is nothing that I want
and there is nothing that I need
in this ordinary season
made of ordinary days
I've got time to count my blessings
before they slip away
yes it's an ordinary sentiment
but it's still a dream come true
to share this ordinary Christmas with you
it won't be snowy white
there's not a cloud up in the sky
so grab a plate of leftovers
choke down that pumpkin pie
and there won't be any carolers
or Santas on parade
but I don't need a celebration
to know I've got it made
in this ordinary season
made of ordinary days
we've got time to count our blessings
before they slip away
yes it's an ordinary sentiment
but all I want to do
to share this ordinary Christmas with you
there will be no flying reindeer
no majestic angel choir
no dancing magic snowmen
and no yule log on the fire
but we have a little tree with lights
and little candy canes
and we're snug beneath our blanket
convalescing from our pains
in this ordinary season
made of ordinary days
we've got time to count our blessings
before they slip away
yes it's an ordinary sentiment
but still a dream come true
to share an ordinary Christmas with you
to share this ordinary Christmas with you
another ordinary Christmas with you
another ordinary Christmas with you
