Lyrics
I like the simple things before me
as I watch the flowers grow
The simple things I see
like the roses in their rows
I like the simple things about you
that only I would know
The simple things in life
like an old time cowboy show
Simple things of beauty
you find them everywhere
A child on her bike
golden sunlight in her hair
Simple things we all know
like a mother's long good-bye
Simple things inspire
like a young boy's second try
Oh my I testify (BRIDGE)
I've been gone for too long
I've failed to see what's in front of me
It's been here all along
I'll shape this day like a pound of clay
and live it like my last
No need to be concerned they say
with the future or the past
SOLO
(BRIDGE)
Simple things 'round every corner
like a 3-chord country song
Touch my senses, heart, my soul,
no fanfare, sing along
Simple things will always be here
Being faithful to my friends
I like the simple things before me
being partners to the end
