Simple Things - Glen Campbell

Telephones ringing jet planes a leaving

Another deadline to beat

Driven by desire to get all I ever needed

But still my life seemed incomplete

The crazy schedule the constant shuffle

Workin' late every night

The race that I was runnin' left me tired and empty

There wasn’t any rest in sight

The pleasures of wealth

Mixed with dreams of greater glory

Once all my eyes could ever see

I used to hear me say the busier the better

But in these later days I’ve got another song to sing

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like summer breeze on a starlit night

Oh I thought I knew the joy that I would never find

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like a happy home with a wonderful wife

Oh I never knew the joy that I could find

In the simple things

Friendly chatter the sounds of laughter

At a backyard barbecue

Children saying the darndest things

Like «Daddy I love you»

The pleasures of wealth

Mixed with dreams of greater glory

Once all my eyes could ever see

I used to hear me say the busier the better

But in these later days I’ve got another song to sing

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like summer breeze on a starlit night

Oh I thought I knew the joy that I would never find

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like a happy home with a wonderful wife

Oh I never knew the joy that I could find

In the simple things

Oh the simple things

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like summer breeze on a starlit night

Oh I thought I knew the joy that I would never find

Thank you Lord for the simple things in life

Like a happy home with a wonderful wife

Oh I never knew the joy that I could find

In the simple things

Oh the simple things
