The song that's in my head

Blessed
Martina Mcbride

I get kissed by the sun each morning, -- using a description outside the norm
Put my feet on a hardwood floor -- relating to normacy of everyday
I get to hear my children laughing -- showing the little things in life are what make it best

Down the hall through the bedroom door-- family can be far away, but they are always close to heart
Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing
Just soaking up the day -- stop to take in the world and its worth
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place -- reiterates that the simple things in life are worth living for

Chorus:

I have been blessed -- blessed with the little things in life
And I feel like I found my way -- her children have helped her find her way
I thank God for all I've been given --thank God for her kids- who have become her life
At the end of every day
I have been blessed -- realizes that in the end, it's all about the relationships and not about the things you have
With so much more than I deserve -- her family is more than she deserves in life because they are so wonderful
To be here with the ones that love me -- it's not about what you have, but who you have
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed -- repetition of this phrase shows that the little everyday things in life are even greater than the bigger things. the little things really are the big things

Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinking
By the way I look at you-- even through the obstacles in life and all of the crowding out, your loved ones stand out

And when we're lying in the quiet -- just staying quiet
And no words have to be said -- don't even have to speak
I think to myself I think to myself -- we can even think, just in the quiet
This love is a beautiful gift -- love is a gift, that comes from the little things in life, the everyday things.
