Ordinary People

I was standing at the checkout, by a rack of magazines
Cover story told about another heart broke beauty queen
How she was getting 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 an old printed page
But they took the love of 57 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 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 breaking up
That they wish somehow someway to be 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 I could ever wish for you and me
Is a life as ordinary as can be
