It was the first day of January, the ground was frozen   The wind was dyin' down, but it was almost snowin'   We ran outside to see our breath, to feel the cold inside our chests   Another winter in the Midwest      We hurried in that night, and held each other close   There's nothing greater than the arms of one you love when it is cold   And lyin' down to go to sleep, listening to my husband breathe   There was the most beautiful peace, cause      CHORUS:   On the ordinary   Common path of every day   Are the extraordinary   Steps we take in grace      It was the fourth day of February,   My family came down   We're not together near enough, but that night we went out on the town   We got to talk, share some laughs, and reminisce about the past   Yeah, my family's always been like that, and      CHORUS      Now I've got a family of my own,   It takes more shape each day   In our deepest conversations, in the games we love to play   We found the truth that we can't see always passing silently   Upon the very air we breathe…      CHORUS
