Simple Things, here are there
Let them take away your cares
Memories of the things you've done
The dares you've lost, the games you've won
Simple things like this are worth a lot
Simple things like this are worth a lot
Candy bars and twinklin' stars
Playing tag in the park, watching fireflies in the dark
Your first kiss, your first car
Simple things like this are worth a lot
Simple things like this are worth a lot
Mmmm
La la la la la da da
Listen to the rustlin' leaves rustlin' from the tops of trees
When the time comes they will fall
But new ones grow when spring calls
Funny how it always works that way
Sometimes simple things take many days
Fallen leaves on the road, hear them blow outside your window
Rake 'em up into a pile
One big jump, a simple smile
Take a rake and pile 'em up again
Simply rake and pile 'em up again
Mmmmm La la la la la la la
Time is passing, you grow tall
Mark your height against a wall
Simple things, they fade away
Leave them for another day, let 'em lie for another day or two
Let 'em lie for another year or two
Hair is dusted now with gray
Skin is wrinklin' on your face
Now your working days are done
Now remember back when you were young
The simple life you live when you were young
The simple life you lived when you were young
Now it's rocking chairs, reminisce, the things you liked, the things you miss
Simple things that you recall like
Watching time, caterpillars crawl
Simple things are always on your mind
Look and see what simple things you find
Look and see what simple things you find
Open your eyes and look and see what simple things you'll find
Mmmmm
La la la la la la la la
