The Simple Things

** I've uploaded a new vocal with less pitch correction and a small change in the lyric. **

I've not been around much the past three weeks - Di has been in and out of the hospital since December 18th. She's home right now and doing somewhat better. After I got her bathed and into bed this evening, I decided to write a song just because. This is what i came up with. I started it about 6:30 this evening and finished it about 11:00. A couple of the lyric lines come from some of DI's personal writings.

I wanted to redo the vocal but just didn't get to it. The pitch correction is a little stronger than I had intended - might redo the vocal in a few days. But, on the other hand, God knows I need all the pitch correction I can get!

Will go over to hear a few folks later tonight (actually, early morning). Looking forward to it!

As always, any and all comments are welcome. Thanks in advance!

The Simple Things
© 2019 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Randall, BMI

(v1)
The taste of your lips, the soft of your touch
Hot coffee with my breakfast toast
No I don’t need no fancy stuff, there’s nothing there for me
It’s the simple things that I love the most

(v2)
The smile on your face, the sway of your hips
Hot butter on my dinner rolls
Champagne and caviar, that’s just not my style
It’s the simple things that I love the most

(CHORUS)
Tricked-out cars, Armani suits, I suppose are nice to have
And maybe even gold and diamond rings
But you in my arms when we’re making love, mean so much more to me
I just need the simple things

(v3)
Sometimes I stray, from the simple path
I get confused and don’t know where I’m at
And when I’m lost, can’t find my way, you know just what to say
With simple words that always bring me back

(v4)
You next to me, whispers in my ear
When the dark of night comes drifting down
The complicated world is gone, at last we’re all alone
With the simple things that make my world go ‘round
