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! (x12)
