Simple Things

The simple things, the simple life
Oh what I'd give for it
You make your own, make your own life, make what you will of it

It's a new red rose coming out to bud
The sweet sensation when you kiss the girl you love
It's that warmth inside when your love loves you
It's simple but it's true
That's about as good as life will get for you

Waking in the morning, no money, nowhere to go
Sun shining in on you
Window shopping in your dreamy head
Your pockets empty

You've got three whole days until you're welfare check
You're sitting in your flat and you're surveying the mess
cnd every job you ever wanted was filled by somebody else
But when she says she loves you
That's about as good as life will get for you

It's a new red rose coming out to bud
The sweet sensation when you're making love
The warmth inside when your love loves you
It's simple but it's true
cnd that's about as good
That's about as good
That's about as good as life will get for you.
