Lyrics for Simple Things
If Simon says be glad today I surely do what Simon say And if youl like to see me smile Then you're in luck 'cause that's my style My pretty bird up in the tree I hear the song you sing for me The sky's fantastic blue or grey And here we are alive today Hey... The simple things The lovely simple things The sunset and the dawn The simple things The lovely simple things I could go on and on and on For the simple pleasures Are worth more than treasures That your paper money ever bring This song is old, this song is new This song is me, this song is you I like to play out in the rain I like the sun to shine again And again and again Each day so many things to see And I'm so glad I am me And you, my friends, are pretty too And I'm so glad that you are you
