If I was a simple man,

Would we still walk hand in hand?

If I suddenly went blind,

Would you still look in my eyes?

What happens when I grow old?

And all my stories have been told?

Will your heart still race for me?

Or will it march to a new beat?

If I was a simple man



If I was a simple man,

I'd own no home, I'd own no land

Would you still stand by my side?

And would our flame still burn so bright?



Sometimes I wonder why,

I'm so full of these endless rhymes

About the way I feel inside

I wish I could just get it right



If I was a simple man

And I could make you understand

There'd be no reason to think twice

You'd be my sun; you'd be my light

If I was a simple man

If I was a simple man



Sometimes I wonder why

I'm so full of these endless rhymes

About the way I feel inside

I wish

Sometimes (x 12)
