lyrics

Simple Things


Let me sing for you I won’t take long
Some simple words when things go wrong
To help you raise your voice in song
And lend a helping hand

No lives are ever free from pain
So when your days are filled with rain
Just know the sun will shine again
And love those clouds away

CHORUS: A smile, a glance, a knowing hand
Two simple words, “I understand”
Are all it takes to be a friend
When friends are hard to find

Simple things that mean so much
A gentle kiss, a lover’s touch
These things that we don’t share enough
Help ease a troubled mind

CHORUS: A smile, a glance, a knowing hand
Two simple words, “I understand”
Are all it takes to be a friend
When friends are hard to find

Some sound advice to me was told
It’s for the young, it’s for the old
You’ve got to arms, they’re there to hold
So held gently through the night

Let me send these final words along
May days be full and long
And may your nights be filled with song
Sharing music with your friends
May the music never end.
