Simple Things That Matter

have you ever had this feeling
when you're lost and have no meaning
something small and common
makes your heart and soul go spinning
simple things that matter
would you spend this day with me?

my time goes by, days get repeated
i'm fighting fear and rarely beat it
wise people say love's a solution
i seek to make my contribution

have you ever had that moment
when you're dancing with your lover
nearness and warmness
are the gifts you rediscover
simple things that matter
would you spend this night with me?

have you ever had this feeling
when you're lost and have no meaning
something small and common
makes your heart and soul go spinning
simple things that matter
would you live your life with me?

i watch the news, i get judgmental
i'm feeling old, too sentimental
wise people say we can not get far
what do they know about the way things are?
