Lyrics
Intro
Sunrise paints the tablecloth gold
A kettle sings from the stove
Bare feet on linoleum cold
A new day ready to rove
Verse 0
Little hands reach for a cup
Balancing hope and cheer
Dappled light waking us up
Simple moments held dear
Verse 1
Sunlight peeks through the pane
Morning dust on the floor
Mother calls out my name
Chores waiting by the door
Pre-Chorus
With a song in my pocket
And a bucket in hand
I follow old routine
On this tidy little land
Chorus
Wash the old porcelain bowl
See it shining like new
With the lather and water I stroll
Bringing back its white hue
Verse 2
Grandma’s voice in the hall
Telling tales of the past
Hands busy cleaning it all
Making memories that last
Pre-Chorus
The suds swirl and glisten
In the morning sun
If you care to listen
Chores can be fun
Chorus
Wash the old porcelain bowl
See it shining like new
With the lather and water I stroll
Bringing back its white hue
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Verse 3
Apron strings wrapped so tight
Soap bubbles rising high
Laughter echoes in light
As the days roll by
Pre-Chorus
Sponge in hand, gentle touch
Easy as can be
The simplest chores mean so much
To family and to me
Chorus
Wash the old porcelain bowl
See it shining like new
With the lather and water I stroll
Bringing back its white hue
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Bridge
Memories in every crack
Stories painted in blue
Polished till they come back
As lovely as they once knew
Chorus
Wash the old porcelain bowl
See it shining like new
With the lather and water I stroll
Bringing back its white hue
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
