Don't need much to be happy
Four walls and a roof overhead
Books and food in my belly

Cool sheets upon the bed

A fire that warms up December

The sound of a thaw in the eaves
Sometimes it's hard to remember
How tough we are to please


All in good time
Somehow I find

Days that still shine with light
All in good stead
I'm safe and I'm fed

With dreams in my head
Good night


The feel of my hand being taken
Driving at night all alone
The breeze on a warm summer evening

And coming home

All in good time

Somehow you find
Days that still shine with light
All in good stead

You're safe and you're fed
With dreams in your head
Good night


Don't need much to be happy
A friend to soften a fall

And something to show for my labors
After all


I had to learn to be grateful
I had to learn how to see
Mistakes that might have proved fatal

Are gifts I now receive
