Simple Things

I'm no scholar and I'm no philosopher But I've lived and I've learned a thing or two It don't help to worry, there's no need to hurry And it don't take a lot to pull you through Like your favorite song, a call from home Or the rain that falls across your windowpane A season change, the smell of springtime in May A precious child, a baby's smile Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times Life's a puzzle and sometimes a struggle And at times, Lord, it's more than you can take But look around you, I know, you're bound to Find somethin' that will brighten up your day Like your favorite song, a call from home Or the rain that falls across your windowpane A season change, the smell of springtime in May A precious child, a baby's smile Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times Like a precious child, a baby's smile Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times --- Simple Things - Billy Dean
