about

The title track, everyday moments was inspired by three things. One,my friend Hélène asked me to write a song about housekeeping, saying no one ever does. I did explain that my skills in that area were limited but I would try. Another friend was told after twenty years and 3 kids that she had not contributed enough. But it was a phrase from an add for pension funds that sparked it all “what does your life add up to”. I thought I'll tell you what it adds up to: 1000 meals 1000 dishes, how many birthday cakes a 1000 hugs 1000 kisses a 1000 small mistakes….. and the song began.

lyrics

Everyday Moments Connie Kaldor @Word of Mouth Music SOCAN

A thousand meals, a thousand dishes
how many Birthday Cakes?
A thousand hugs a thousand kisses
A thousand small mistakes
A thousand wiping down the tables
and pushing in the chairs
A thousand baskets barely carried heavy up the stairs
God knows how many washes and folds
and picking ups and tucking ins and colds

Chorus

Not the things that make you money
Or a household name.
Not the kind of things that get you
Ahead in the game
They are the everyday moments, the ones that scatter
But they’re the ones that matter

A thousand “you can do its”
A thousand “don't do thats
A thousand take your boots off and
don't forget your hats
A thousand picking ups and dropping offs and cheering when they play
A thousand getting back from work and getting groceries on the way
God knows how many legos and blocks
And playing catch and matching up socks

CHORUS

Bridge
All the weary times,middle of the night bleary wiping tears from your eyes
All the early morning alarms with their annoying ring
All the moments that you watch them smile and you realise
That you love them more than any song could ever sing

CHORUS
