Lyrics[]

It's the simple things that give my heart its wings
Like fishing on a sunny day
In the open air without a single care
You'll hear me singing on my way

It's the corny jokes I like to share with folks
'Cause laughing keeps me feeling fine
It's the soft refrain of every gentle rain
That gives me so much peace of mind

I must confess, I couldn't care less what other people do
Just so I've got my favorite spot, right along side of you
It's the simple things that give my heart its wings
Like dreaming by a campfire light

And I'll go along with every cricket song
That tells me that the world's all right
That tells me that the world's all right

And I'll go along with any happy song
That tells me that the world's all right
That tells me that the world's all right

It's the simple things, the old familiar things
Like all the sounds of home, sweet home
It's the things I share with all the folks who care
That make me never want to roam

It's the simple things, the old familiar things
Like sleeping in a cozy bed
Still, the break of day, I love to snooze away
With dreams a-drifting through my head

It's the simple things, the old familiar things
Like waking in a certain way
Let the rooster crow, and I am sure to know
I'm rising to a happy day
A c----a-doodle day

It's the simple things, the old familiar things
I love to do them all just right
For I realize it's all the exercise
That gives me such an appetite

It's the simple things, the old familiar things
Like helping those in need of care
Not a single chore will ever be a bore
With the smell of breakfast in the air

It's the simple things, they give my heart its wings
Like fishing on a sunny day
In the open air without a single care
You'll hear me singing on my way

It's the corny jokes I like to share with folks
'Cause laughing keeps me feeling fine
It's the sun refrain of every gentle rain
That gives me so much peace of mind

I must confess, I couldn't care less but other people do
Just so I've got my favorite spot, right along side of you
It's the simple things that give my heart its wings
Like dreaming by a campfire light

And I'll go along with every cricket song
That tells me that the world's all right
That tells me that the world's all right

And I'll go along with any happy song
That tells me that the world's all right
That tells me that the world's all right
