Simple Things
Wake up baby look around
Birds sing, ooooh that sound
Reminds me of a line
From Unchained Melody
Feel like I'm a little girl
Best thing in the whole wide world
Is I can see the makings of a memory
I remember how it used to be
Well I'm still dreaming...
Cuz I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things
Ain't nothing like a sunny day
Chit-chat at a street cafe
Just paint the picture, baby
Where you wanna be
Take a walk, take a ride
So far, you and I
Don't need a plan
But we can share
This revelry
I remember how I used to want it all
Funny now the big things seem so small
I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things
Through all the days
The blues, the greys
A ray of light keeps shining...

The Little Things
THE LITTLE THINGS
You dont have to buy me all the gold there is in Rome
Dont have to surprise me with the most expensive home
Dont have to travel round the world for me at all
Baby, the way you smile at me is self explainable.
Oh baby baby baby, I dont want much
Just say you love me now and then
And mean it is more than enough.
Chorus 1:
Its just the little thing, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my soul at ease
Baby the little things are things that matter to me
(Hey, ooh babe, oh yeah baby, yeah darling)
Oh you dont have to be a movie star on the TV, no baby
Dont have to be a knight in shining armor to rescue me, no
Dont have to promise me the moon and stars above, darling
Just keep sure your there for me it keeps me in love.
Oh baby baby baby, I dont want much
Ooh just say you love me now and then
.And mean it is more than enough.
Chorus 2:
It just the little things, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my mind at ease

You dont have, to go out of your way baby
Just say, that love, will always stay darling
Oh baby, I dont, dont really want much
Cause if you really love me baby hey
Thats more than enough.
Chorus 3:
Its just the little things, the simple little things, babe
I know it may sound funny but
Sometimes they mean so much to me
Makes me feel secure and puts my mind at ease
Baby the little things are things that matters
Little things are things that matters (Things that matter)
A little things are things that matter to me, hey, ow.

A Simple Thing
Sometimes it’s a simple things
that brings the most pleasure there.
A little, treat for someone
of whom you really care.
A smile to a stranger
you may meet on your way.
That smile might
just make their day.
It’s the simple things
we take for granted
that bring the biggest joy.
The simple things
that lights up a face
that sorrow has stained.
So remember
a simple thing like a smile
can turn a frown upside down.

Special
I been trying for so long
To get you where I stand
Feel like I been climbing all my life
Everybody told me
I'd never ever get this far
I know I can make it if I try
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
(come to you, you too, to you, do to, be do, you)
Special things come to you
There's no sense in trying to fight it
When I want something so bad
No, it's not as easy as it seems
Simple things are the hardest
Of the things we do for love
And I won't give up cause I'm not just what it means
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you
(come to you, doo doo doo, to you, doo doo doo)
Special things (doo, doo ahh, you doo)
Do do doo, on you, do do doo, to you
Do doo, ahh, do do doo, too
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you

Simple Things
simple things are the simple thoughts to a
simple man
like me
simple things like a coin where there is no face of me
or you
but it can buy me something to shame me of my
poverty and helplessness
a simple yawn
i haven't really slept
to the minimum that my eyes need
and look at these eyes
they are sinking to my sockets
a simple
word is all i need and i will always repeat it
'love'
'me'
this is the simple man, let there be no complications
about
spelling
or ethics
i am a simple man and morality is too hard for me to understand
all i ask is that you must
love me.

A sonnet for lovers
‘A sonnet for lovers’
(‘Dedicated to the one I love’)
It’s the simple things
The simple things you do
Not just the simple things
It’s the complicated things too
The simple act of holding my hand
The simple morning cup of tea
Listening to my favourite band
The complicated act of listening to me
You make it simple to love you
As simple as can be
You make the complicated act simple too
The completed act of loving me
One thing that’s not that complicated
As a matter of fact it’s simple
I love you above all others
This is dedicated to the one I love
This simple sonnet for lovers

He Cant Love You
I aint no hata or nothing
But he cant love you like I can
Trust me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
As the clock strikes twelve
Im sitting here wondering how the hell
Did I let you leave
And baby I know that I did my share
Of things to deceive you
Im just trying to get an understanding
Of what to do
Cause Im half way going crazy
Girl they cant fade me
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
He cant love you like I love you
Baby you know it too
And you should never wanna be with a man
If he cant be a man
And do the things to you like I can
I stop, and I wait, and I think
That I never met someone to make me feel
Like Im ready to love
So I gotta do what I gotta do
Just to keep you
Keep you here with me baby
Now I feel its time for me to say
That I need you boo
And I cant go a day without your loving
Baby I cant live without you
I know you know
No matter if you want it baby
Aint no ifs, or buts, or maybes
And I know that one day
Youll see that he cant really love you
Like I love you
He cant love you like I love you

And you should never wanna be with a man

Baby Im Leaving You
You know that my heart is true
And I never lie to you
We try each and everyday
Still theres something in the way
I like moonlight, simple things
Now you want a diamond ring
I got news for you
Baby Im leaving you
We both want a love that last
Girl youre moving away too fast
I live for your fantasy
A real love is what I need
You should be happy, tell you friends
This is where the movie ends
I got news for you
Baby Im leaving you
Let me tell you girl
I hear what you say, I see what youre doing girl
I dont wanna play
Were livin in two different worlds
Tell me girl it aint true
The rumors that I hear about you
About all the boys you knew before
Who come and go right out your door
I like moonlight, simple things
Go out and get a diamond ring
I got news for you
Baby Im leaving you, baby Im leaving you
Gone
I got news for you

Allow every good dream you dream to come true, yeah

If I were a magician baby, then you'd have no fear
'Cause I'd snap my fingers and make your worries disappear

If I were all these things
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things
Fly you straight to heaven
And step with you while the angels sing (if...)
I'd ask you to marry me (ohh)
Give you the sun for a diamond ring
If I could I'd do those things (yeah)
Now if I were a preacher baby, my sermon would be
About how God opened up heaven and rained you on me, yeah
If I was a doctor baby, I surely would
Give you something for your pain that'll make you feel real good, now
If I were a psychic baby, then our love would last
'Cause I'd go into the future and prevent all break-ups from coming to pass
Lord, if I was feeling down baby and really going through
All friends are gone then I know that I can count on you
One more, if we were at a club baby, and this jam came on
I'd grab you by the hand and tell you let's step to this song
If I was yeah...
If I were all these things
Then to you girl to you I'd give you all these things (fly)

Oh, if I could blink my eye and be a giant eagle in the sky (oh, oh, oh, ohh, the rain)
Girl I would swoop down and fly you straight into the sun (the rain)
Ohh, If I could pick a number out of every number girl you'd be (ooh...)
My number one... whoa... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I were all these things (these things)

A Little Bit
Im not the kind of girl to sit out on sidelines
The kind of girl who doesnt say it straight from her mind
Youre gonna know all that Im feeling on the inside
I aint into games, I dont wanna waste
Any time and all the energy we could spend
Being together boy forever youre my best friend
Got a little problem that I cant mend
You been taking me for granted you
I dont wanna walk away from what we have, and you know it
Im not telling you all of this to make you mad
Its not about whos right or wrong
Its not about whos weak or strong
Its about what I need to make this last
A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a long way
Dont wanna end up in a tricky situation
So Im giving you my every indication
We can work it out together stop the tension
Try to understand, baby where I stand
I love you and Im trying to be gentle
So let me break it down for you and make it simple
(I gave my heart so you know whats essential)
That you show a little love for me
I dont wanna walk away or let you go, and you know it
Im not telling you all of this to make you sad
Its not about the tears we cry
Its about how hard we try
To give a little more and see the other side
A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a long way
And it hurts me, cause I care and Im telling you why
Im unhappy so if you love me
A little bit is not that much to ask to make things right
Oh yeah, oh yeah, a little bit goes a long, long way
A little more time, a little less wait
A little more heart, a little less break
Simple and true, what they say
A little bit goes a long way
A little less talk, a little more do
A little more me, a little less you
Baby at the end of the day
A little bit goes a loong way

Things at A Time Were Simple
Things at a time were simple, small things are full of danger
everywhere I walk into your things, as if you are here
while time passes much too slowly,
your things fill the whole garage
and I wonder when a relationship ends?
Outside children ride past on bicycles and life goes on
and everything feels muddled,
when the church bell in the distance rings off the time,
things at a time were simple.
How our relationship ended is disputable
but it remains a fact that I have got to accept,
I am wet with sweat while I am hitting of a tennis ball,
standing ready for the next one,
almost staring at the women with the short skirt,
things at a time were simple.

Simple Kind Of Life
For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didnt work out, Im covered in shells
And all I wanted was a simple thing
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife
Im so ashamed, Ive been so mean
I dont know how it got to this point
Ooh I always was the one with all the love
But you came along, Im hunting you down
Like a sick domestic abuser lookin for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things a simple kind of life
Oh if we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?
I always thought Id be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like youd be a good dad
Now all the simple things are simply too complicated for my life
Howd I get so faithful to my freedom? a selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things a simple kind of life

Whenever There Is Love
WHENEVER THERE IS LOVE
Like the welcome of spring
like the light that you bring
to skies that were empty and gray
just your breath in the night
can make it alright
when you sigh as you're drifting away
oh baby
All that is simple and good
lives in the places you stood
the things that are pure and true
paint a picture of you
and you are all I can think of
whenever there is love
whenever there is love
whenever there is love
Like a brief desert rain
like the air that remains
making everything suddenly new
oh baby and like the light in your eyes
as if you and I made a world that was only for two
oh tell me baby
If you are lost I will find you
no matter where you go
if you fall I'll be behind you

A Christmas To Remember
Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, its almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as its always been
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true
Chorus:
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
Well wake up to a world of white
Its gonna be a christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some nat king cole
Always sentimental and dont you know that
Its gonna be a christmas to remember
I know its true
Time doesnt stand still
Many things can change
But we know some things never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Funny Feelings
Oh baby,
Girl i, girl i,
Got the funny feeling,
Oh yeah, yes I do.
Everytime I try to kiss your lips, you turn away.
And when I try to hold you near my heart you just tell me not today.
Well the days, grow to weeks, and the weeks, just add on.
And I try to be strong, but I feel like you dont love me,
Anymore...

Funny feelings,
Funny feelings,
That you dont love me anymore.
Funny feelings,

That you dont love me anymore.
I find myself sitting by the phone,
Waiting for it to ring.
And oh, my mailbox is always full,
But from you I never recieve a thing.
Well I try, to just go
By the things that you say.
But the things that you do,
They just tell me that you dont love me,
Anymore...

Those Simple Things
The film we saw and loved
The cab that never showed
The moon that walked us home
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine
Ain't it those simple things
That make love a joy to live
The pleasure they bring
Just the thrill they bring
Just the thrill it is to give
Emotions will sing
With just those simple things
The light upon your hair
The touch of your skin
This cotton cave we're in
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine
Ain't it those simple things
That make love a joy to live
The pleasure they bring
Just the thrill they bring
Just the thrill it is to give
Emotions will sing
With just those simple things
Tell me that you care
Let me know you're mine

That Was Then, This Is Now
Some things I guess I won't forget
Like my first time on the night we met
I wish I could go back there tonight, tonight
Looking in your eyes the way you held me tight
Weeded all the wrong, when it felt so right
There's nowhere I'd rather be tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I have to take you everywhere
Just to believe no matter what I had
But that was then and this is now
You and me were like a movie scene
Superstars playing in a teenage dream
(?) one left tonight
Guess you could've broken someone else's heart
I'm the big winner because I played the part
Don't wanna say goodbye tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I have to take you everywhere
Just to believe no matter what I had
But that was then and this is now
I feel first my life
But never ever be another one
Don't wanna tell no one
You and me together was so much fun
I feel first my life
But never ever be another one
Don't wanna tell no one
You and me together was so much fun
Sometimes you gotta let things be
Even when the truth is that you lied to me
But I wanna keep those thoughts away, from me
From me
It's the little things that I dream about
That no one ever talks about
The little things I think about
That no one ever dreams about
The kisses that were promised
?As we whispered our plans?
Funny how you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I have to take you everywhere
Just to believe no matter what I had
But that was then and this is now
Funny how you said we would never change
Let me tell you something baby, life is strange
But that was then and this is now
Remember me, remember me
Remember me, remember me
Remember me, remember me

A Simple Man
A simple man with simple ideas,
that’s what he, thinks of himself,
but others look differently at him.
They say that he has a heart way off the charts,
for all the things that he does.
For the words of comfort that he says,
and the support he brings to all he meets.
He cannot see it though;
to him it is just something
he has always done naturally.
To him there is nothing special,
in all that he does.
Being kind is no special trait;
everyone can do it.
Loving everything and everyone that comes his way,
a lot of people out there can do that too.
So why do people choose him?
He is only human after all,
no more thoughtful than most.
Some even think him as an angel,
he smiles at that, and wishes
that he had a guardian angel of his own,
to give him advice when
he trying to ease someone else’s pain.
However, he is a simple man,
who walks through life,
only doing simple things.
The only time you will see him frown,
is when he wants to help someone,
and finds that he cannot.
It s then he feels he is failing them,
because of something he could not do.
Therefore, if you ever meet this simple man,
cheer him up a little bit.
Personally I would like to be like him
and all that he does possess,
but my head is buried in the sand,
too much of the time,
to do all the things he does.

Dream,when youre feeling blue
Dream,thats the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
Youll find your share of memories there
So dream, when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream dream
Dream, when the day is through
Dream,0and they might come true

World Of Your Own
You make me feel funny
When you come around
Yeah that's what I found out honey
What am I doing without you
You make me feel happy
When I leave you behind
It plays on my mind now honey
What am I doing without you
Took for granted everything we had
As if I'd find someone
Who's just like you
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you
Well I guess I'm ready
For settling down
And fooling around is over
And I swear that it's true
No buts or maybes
When I'm falling down
There's always someone who saves me
And girl it's you
Funny how life can be so surprising
I'm just realising what you do
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you
Well it's feeling right now
So let's do it right now
Praying that some how
You will understand the way
It's feeling right now baby somehow
I won't let this slip away
We got a little world of our own
I'll tell you things that no one else knows
I let you in where no-one else goes
What am I doing without you
And all of the things I've been looking for
Have always been here outside of my door
And all of the time I'm looking for something new
What am I doing without you
