Simple Things
Copyright M.Russo/D. Hulcombe May 16th 2003

Bang, banging on the door has always let me in.
Work hard to make a dollar, spend it with your friends.
Love was a hand to hold & ask how your day had been,
Warm-hearted when nights were cold beneath blankets worn & thin.
But it was sweeter than American pie.
I didn't notice 'til it kissed me goodbye.

Like all those simple things in life.
So simple, it's simple.
Those simple things in life
So simple, it's simple
Those simple things in life,

Like walking on home at the end of your day
Can make you believe that everything is okay.
The warmth of tomorrow from that kiss me goodnight
How sweet is the dream that everything is all right.
No it was never more than that you see,
But it was more than everything to me.

Sweethearts somewhere begin to sour at the edge,
Safe havens crumble leave you clinging to the ledge.
Bed freeze & my empty nest is a taste of what will be.
A hand holding, laugh loud moment, photo stares back at me.
And you're already getting on with your life
While me, I'm standing here still stuck at goodbye, with all those

Chorus x 2

I'm at the wrong end of right
Choking on my tears
Give me one more night
Give me one more year.
How come we don't love any more?
