Story behind the song
First came the sentence, "Dirt roads and simple things." then the music from BIAB followed by the lyric and this demo.
Lyrics
Simple Things [2021/06/18] [V] Grasshoppers hoppin', songbirds never stoppin', "Touch-Me-Nots" a-poppin', summer days. Shady oaks and maples, rainy days in April, sittin' 'round the kitchen playing games. [B] These are the simple things. These are the simple things. [V] Walkin' 'long a little brook, sittin' quiet with a book, exploring every nook, catchin' toads. Fireflies on humid nights, sparklin' colored Christmas lights, watchin' birds, flyin' kites, dirt roads. [B] These are the simple things. These are the simple things. [C] Enjoying a cool summer breeze, jumpin' in a pile of leaves, listenin' to you talk, turning grey. Moonlit nights, starry skies, having you by my side the simple things that make up my day. [V] Memories of meeting you pop up when I'm feelin' blue, there's nothin' else to do to pick me up. Homemade cookies, a cup of tea snowy days, once climbin' trees days when I feel like a pup. [B] These are the simple things. These are the simple things. [C] Enjoying a cool summer breeze, jumpin' in a pile of leaves, listenin' to you talk, turning grey. Moonlit nights, starry skies having you by my side the simple things that make up my day. Break: [V] Sleepin' in, a shot of gin, the music of a violin can lift my spirit in many ways. Snugglin' you, a forest view, bare toes and mornin' dew are simple things that make up my day. [C] Enjoying a cool summer breeze, jumpin' in a pile of leaves, listenin' to you talk, turning grey. Moonlit nights, starry skies. having you by my side the simple things that make up my day. Break Copyright 2021 by Douglas Murphy www.soundclick.com/dougmurphy doug_murphy6@sympatico.ca
