lyrics

The Simple Things

The simple things in life
The simple things in life
The simple things in life

A kind word if free
Bring a smile, you’ll see - repeat twice

I was at the park the other day
Couldn’t find anyone to play
Then a kid showed up, and I said with a smile
Do you want to play with me for a while?

Chorus

On the bus I saw a man looking blue
He was wet from the rain and had a hole in his shoe
I said hey sir can I tell you a joke
I made him laugh so hard I thought he might choke

Chorus

Went to see my nana in the senior’s home
The faces on the others looked so monochrome
I introduced myself and gave them all a hug
Their faces lit up like a lightning bug!

Chorus
