Another Ordinary Christmas

(Paul Heilker, 2013)

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

about

Paul Heilker Blacksburg, Virginia

I'm a guitar player, singer, writer, and teacher from Blacksburg, Virginia, by way of Chicago, Fort Worth, Fort Collins, and Wantagh, Long Island.

My dad was a music teacher who insisted that there was good music (and shit) in every genre. Hence, my tastes are pretty eclectic, but I am partial to the well-crafted song, whatever its origins.
