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 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 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 simple things The simple things just are Oh, 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 The simple things just are The simple things Just are
