If I was a simple man

Would we still walk hand in hand?


And 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 own no home, I own no land

Would you still stand by my side?


And would our flame still burn so bright?




Oh, 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, sometimes, sometimes
