Every Single Ordinary Minute

with the radio alarm, when I'm opening my eyes
and I sit up and I perch on the left side of the bed
as I'm gathering my thoughts, as I'm stretching with a yawn
I want you

when I'm by the water-bowl working lather on my face
when I dry it with a towel, when I tip-toe down the stairs
when I'm mashing up a brew, when I'm soaking my cornflakes
I want you

I find in everything I do my waking mind will concentrate on you
and every stray minute of each day is pre-occupied to be by your side

every single ordinary minute feels so right because it has you in it
every single ordinary minute's extraordinary cos it's with you

when I give my teeth a brush, gargling with a minty rinse
when I'm slipping on my shoes, when I'm exiting the door
when I'm on my way to work, when I'm waiting for the bus
I want you

when I'm writing something down, when I'm fiddling with my pen
when I'm looking at my watch, when I'm on a coffee-break
when I'm making my way home, when I'm settling in a chair
I want you

I find in everything I do my waking mind will concentrate on you
and every stray minute of each day is pre-occupied to be by your side

every single ordinary minute feels so right because it has you in it
every single ordinary minute's extraordinary cos it's with you
