It's cold enough to bite your skin
But somehow the sun is still shining
Throwing a streak of light
Across the room that I'm writing in
It's wide enough to warm the dog
Laying at my feet on the rug
It's nothing like we used to have
But maybe it'll be enough
Let all of the smallest glories shine
All of the little mercies
Every crumb and sip of wine
All of these little mercies
Echoes in the hallway
All the words that we couldn't say
Maybe they would come out now
Doesn't matter anyway
Mail was empty for a week
Til' Friday when I got your card
I know what it doesn't mean
But it made today a little less hard
Let all of the smallest glories shine
All of these little mercies
Every crumb and sip of wine
All of these little mercies
Every moment of new time
All of these little mercies
Every flicker in your eyes
All of these little mercies
Maybe we failed but still we tried
All of these little mercies
Every photo in my mind
All of these little mercies
Every crumb and sip of wine
All of these little mercies
Every crumb and sip of wine
All of these little mercies
