Simple Things

Simple Things

Lyrics by Susie Warley

I remember walkin’ through sunkissed fields of gold with him
My heart racin,’ keepin’ pace with every giant step he’d take
Yes, every giant step he’d take

Fishin’ pole in my hand I had no fears or cares only grand plans
Hopes and dreams and wild schemes that I’d get my lucky catch
Yes, I’d get my lucky catch

Summer rains turned to snow and I watched his eyes grow dim and old
My heart longs for those days of fireflies and lemonade
Yes, of fireflies and lemonade

Oh, those were big shoes to fill, don’t know why I was in such a hurry
Sometimes, I find myself drifting away on clouds of a simpler day
Yes, on clouds of a simpler day

I thought those days would never end and how I wish I could reel them in again
I’d play that movie over and over and it never grows old
No, I’d never grow old

Oh, to see his face again and to hear the whisper of his voice
I’d gladly walk in his shadow again and I remember him
Yes, I remember him

How I miss those lazy days of fireflies and lemonade
Trekkin’ through fields back home with him needin’ just the simple things
Yes, just the simple things
The simple things
