Just Another Day in Paradise

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Me and Nick's song, Just Another Day in Paradise by Phil Vassar. This song so accurately describes our life that it's almost as if it was written for us. Here are the lyrics:

The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman bringing
That stack of bills - overdue
Good morning baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back
There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it.
I promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok.
It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
One dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late
Guess we'll never make our dinner date
At the restaurant you start to cry
Baby, we'll just improvise
Well, plan B looks like
Dominoes' pizza in the candle light
Then we'll tippy toe to our room
Make a little love that's overdue
But somebody had a bad dream
Mama and daddy
Can me and my teddy
Come in and sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok.
It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts
One dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise

It helps to remind myself of this when the kids are sick and I'm feeling worn out. And the funny thing about this song is that every time Nick and I have a date night, it comes on the radio.
