The Simple Things

A song I wrote about appreciating the simple things around us every day, the beauty and peace of life. voice and music ‪@suno‬ picture is my own To walk down woodland paths, Taking in the beauty of the trees. Or stroll by the meandering river Winding its way to the sea. To skim a stone across the pond watching the rippling rings, Counting how many skips it makes And the endless joy it brings. (chorus) The simple things in life, That bring the most pleasure Are the things we should be grateful for, The things that we should treasure. Running through the waves Feeling the wind in your hair, Collecting shells from the beach For the children to share. Sitting on a rocky crag Watching the sun going down, Seeing the twinkling lights Of the far distant town. (chorus) The simple things in life, That bring the most pleasure Are the things we should be grateful for, The things that we should treasure. Hearing the birds morning chorus, As they wake up from their sleep, A joyful sound they make, Another memory to keep. The smell of the meadows When summer comes along. And the merry little pippit Singing it's cheerful little song. (chorus) The simple things in life, That bring the most pleasure Are the things we should be grateful for, The things that we should treasure. A friendly smile at passers-by Or saying it's a beautiful day, Makes a difference to their life If they're feeling down that day. Joy and happiness isn't bought, It's given from a good kind heart, Why not look at what we have, Let us all try to play our part. (chorus) The simple things in life, That bring the most pleasure Are the things we should be grateful for, The things that we should treasure. Yes it's the simple things in life, That bring us the most pleasure.
