Minnie Riperton - Simple Things lyrics

(M. Riperton - R. Rudolph)

If Simon says be glad today

I surely do what Simon say

And if youl like to see me smile

Then you're in luck cause that's my style

My pretty bird up in the tree

I hear the song you sing for me

The sky's fantastic blue or grey

And here we are alive today

Hey...

The simple things

The lovely simple things

The sunset and the dawn

The simple things

The lovely simple things

I could go on and on and on

For the simple pleasures

Are worth more than treasures

That your paper money ever bring

This song is old, this song is new

This song is me, this song is you

I like to play out in the rain

I like the sun to shine again

And again and again

Each day so many things to see

And I'm so glad I am me

And you, my friends, are pretty too

And I'm so glad that you are you
