lyrics

THE SIMPLE THINGS

It's the simple things,
The simple things in life that get you through,
It's those everyday things,
Those every day little things that help both me and you.

Like blowing a kiss, making a wish,
Have a hug or a smile, when it's been quite a while,
Show that you care, by just being there.
It's the simple things.

When your'e feeling sad,
Just remember the simple things, it's never as bad,
If you really try,
You can make such a difference to somebody else life.

Let's celebrate and sing!
Be thankful for the simple things.

Counting all the stars up in the sky, feel the wind blow through your hair,
Kicking up the Autumn leaves so high, walking on the beach without a care.

By blowing a kiss, making a wish,
Singing a song and knowing what's right from wrong,
Showing you care, by just being there.

Let's celebrate and sing
For the simple things.
