**[Verse 1]**
“I’m home, I can’t eat anymore,” My wife and I both said as I opened the front door of our home.
I added, “That Chinese restaurant has cheap food, big portions, and they even give us snacks.”
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
She replied, “If we went there every day, we’d end up being an obese couple.”
**[Chorus 1]**
Our ordinary but happy days passed.
They seem ordinary, but they’re not.
They’re probably irreplaceable, wonderful times, and we just don’t realize it right now.
Surrounded by precious days.
**[Verse 2]**
I suggested, “How about we cook breakfast and dinner at home and just eat lunch at the company cafeteria?”
She responded, “I think it’s best to cook dinner most of the time and eat out occasionally.”
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
“Okay, let’s do that,” I agreed. “I’ll fill the bathtub,” I said, and went to the bathroom.
**[Chorus 2]**
Our ordinary but happy days passed.
They seem ordinary, but they’re not.
They’re probably irreplaceable, wonderful times, and we just don’t realize it right now.
Surrounded by precious days.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
I plugged in the bathtub and switched on the automatic water heater. Soon, a voice from the hot water panel announced that the bathtub was full. I said, “The bath is ready. Do you want to join me?”
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
She replied, “How about we take separate baths today, and then have a bath together occasionally?”
**[Chorus 3]**
Our ordinary but happy days passed.
They seem ordinary, but they’re not.
They’re probably irreplaceable, wonderful times, and we just don’t realize it right now.
Surrounded by precious days.
**[Bridge]**
“No way!” I strongly protested.
“You want to see me so much,” she said.
“I want to see you,” I insisted.
“If that’s what you say,” she nodded.
**[Final Chorus]**
Our ordinary but happy days passed.
They seem ordinary, but they’re not.
They’re probably irreplaceable, wonderful times, and we just don’t realize it right now.
Surrounded by precious days.
