ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS

I got up before the dawn.
I watched the mist roll over the lawn.
The light spread slowly in the sky
And I thought no need to wonder why.
It was just ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS- I?ll say it again-
It was ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS.
I felt joy in life to-day
And my friends smiled at me the same way.
My soul was gloriously renewed
With wondrous feelings of heav'nly gratitude.
It was just ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS- I?ll sing it again-
It was ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS.
I watched the sun go down today.
With no hint of sadness, I must say.
For even though today is gone,
There'll be tomorrow and its dawn
And more ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS- One last time-
There?s more ORDINARY EVERYDAY GOOD NEWS.
