about

There are not a lot of songs in the 6/8 meter and this one was inspired by the great Luka Bloom and Christy Moore. It’s my idea of an Irish love song-lullaby.

lyrics

“Small Wonder”

published by Chris Murphy Music © ℗ 2017 (ASCAP)

Daylight sneaks in, at its own pace
You lay beside me, sweet hair across your face
Just when I was thinking the world ain't fair
How lucky am I that I found you out there

Like a raging river, like treasure to plunder
Like a sea of stars that we lie under
It's a small wonder, it’s a small wonder

I've made every mistake, that a man can make
But you got to live with yourself no matter what it takes
I bet it all when the chips were down
And when the smoke settled I saw you stood your ground

Like a raging river, a treasure to plunder
Like a sea of stars that we lie under
It's a small wonder, it’s a small wonder,
It’s a small wonder.

Two hearts beating, such a beautiful sound
I was lost in the wilderness, but now I'm found
The cars are all racing by, there's so much to all take in
I'm always want to thank you, I’m never sure where to begin

Like a raging river, like treasure to plunder
Like a sea of stars that we lie under
It's a small wonder, it’s a small wonder,
It’s a small wonder.
