Ordinary people lyrics

Artist  : Clay walker 
Song : Ordinary people
 
(craig wiseman/ed hill)

I was standing at the checkout by a rack of
magazines
Cover story told about another heartbroke beauty
queen
How she was gettin’ over just one more sad
affair
And as I waited for my change, you know it hit me
then and there

That ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars
above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you
and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Then I heard some famous people had an
anniversary
Five long years together, it was hollywood
history
Now my grandma and grandpa never made no printed
page
But they took the love of fifty-seven years right
to the grave

’cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars
above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you
and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Now we all like to watch and by the time the
movie ends
Who of us hasn’t wished to be a little more like
them
But I bet every time two stars are beraking up
That they wish somehow, someway they were a
little more like us

’cause ordinary people have extraordinary love
A million little miracles far beneath the stars
above
The greatest gift that I could ever wish for you
and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.

Oh, the greatest gift that I could ever wish for
you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be.
