Just Another Day in Paradise...

Eric and I have this song that we LOVE!! And I'm sure most of you know it! It's called "Just Another Day in Paradise". Written and sung by
Phil Vassar(who is an amazing musician!).We love it because it depicts real life perfectly and still makes it something that you want to have. 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
And 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 to 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
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night
For just another day in paradise

I am so glad that I get to wake up in "Paradise" everyday. Not the paradise that one pictures with miles of white beach, crystal blue water, palm trees, and an incredible sunset, but the paradise that I have right here. My family and all of the things that we go through. What an amazing gift I have been given!
