Our lives get so hectic and complex that it’s too easy to miss all of the tiny little things that make life so wonderful. Jim Brickman’s “The Simple Things” is a beautiful reminder to stop and appreciate all of the little things that most of us take for granted.
Jim Brickman talks about the song and how he came to write it after the tragic events of 9/11 and how it’s one of his favorite songs ever.
Here are the words
SIMPLE THINGS
By: Jim Brickman
Hey, Time won’t wait,
Life goes by,
Every day’s a brand new sky,
Every tear, comes to dry.
All that really matters,
In this crazy world,
Is you and I together,
Baby just remember.Chorus 1:
The first leaves off the tree,
The way you look at me,
A thousand chiming church bells ring,
The simple things are free
The sun, the moon, the stars,
The beating of two hearts,
How I love the simple things,
The simple things just are.So here we go,
Let’s just dance,
Teach my soul to take this chance,
Put my heart, in your hands.Out of all the moments that,
We leave behind,
Turn around and tell me,
Baby we’ll remember.Chorus 2:
The thunder and the rain,
The way you say my name,
After all the clouds go by,
The simple things remain,
The sun, the moon, the stars,
The beating of two hearts,
How I love the way the simple things,
The simple things just areChorus 3:
The ocean and the sky,
The way we feel tonight,
I know that it’s the love,
That brings the simple things to life,
The sun, the moon, the stars,
The beating of two hearts,
I love the way the simple things,
The simple things just are.I love the way the simple things,
The simple things just are.
Simple things just are.
Simple things just are.
