| Lyrics: | Milestones
©1997 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) Stepping Stones, Milestones in my life Certain things grow precious Your arm flung across me at night Line dried sheet-smell freshness (Chorus) Funny how the little details We hold the closest. Owl howl, cricket call, Montrealer sings Sound seeps through sleep-fog-thickness Stare soon from quilt cocoon my mother made Wondering at all those stitches Funny ... (Bridge) t's the ordinary stuff and the daily routines That surprise us and come to mean the most We'll be pigging out on mooshu, endless "crazy eights" games I know we'll make some cool and loony ghosts Phone notes, envelopes, your written recipes All kept to keep you near to me How rhythmic your penmanship's even slant Each "n" is formed so clearly Funny ... Plastic pitcher and the mixer that she used To make that powdered milk with the yucky taste We drank it just to please her 'cause she told us to Though it's exactly the kind us kids used to hate Funny ... It's the ordinary stuff ... Stepping stones, milestones in my life - certain things grow precious |
