Beautiful Lyrics by Jared Gertner, Kate Wetherhead

Ordinary Days (Original Cast Recording)

2010

[WARREN, spoken]
Hey!
This one

[DEB, spoken]
Really?

[WARREN, spoken]
Yes, this one

[DEB]
This is your pick?
Out of all of the paintings we've seen
This is it?

[WARREN, spoken]
Yes

[DEB]
Out of hundreds of paintings
Your favorite painting is this
Piece of sh—

[WARREN]
Hey!
What's wrong with it?

[DEB]
Well, it's a little bit
Boring

[WARREN]
Then you must be ignoring
The most important bit

[DEB]
I don't see it
Warren, we've been walking around
Passing statues of angels
And portraits of kings

[WARREN, spoken]
So?

[DEB]
So?
You can choose any one
And we're standing in front
Of this painting of everyday things

[WARREN]
It's beautiful, right?

[DEB]
No, it isn't, it's plain

[WARREN]
Well, part of our trip to the Met
Is I get
To explain

[DEB, spoken]
Here we go...

[WARREN]
So, this is a painting of what?

[DEB]
It's a painting of apples

[WARREN]
That's right
That's right!
So, the artist has us looking at what?

[DEB]
Boring, everyday things

[WARREN, spoken]
Well, yes

[DEB, spoken]
And the point?

[WARREN]
The point is that
Things aren't beautiful all on their own
Beautiful comes from reflection
Beautiful takes
A person who makes
A connection
You know what I mean?
For beautiful to happen
The beautiful has got to be seen

[DEB]
Okay
I like that shade of red right there
The spot where the apple is peeling
It's deep as an ocean, but lighter than air

[WARREN]
It's simple, familiar and full of feeling

[DEB]
The color of Saturdays here at the Met

[WARREN]
The color of shouting from rooftops

[DEB, spoken]
You bet

[WARREN]
The color of feeling that life is okay

[DEB]
The color of an ordinary day
