Lyrics
Simply
By Ted Horrell
Sleep on my shoulder
And I’ll lie trying to formulate
Words that would smolder
At once beautiful and great
But my intense feeling
Doesn’t manifest itself
And my verbal ceiling
Keeps it locked inside itself
Though I try to express my thoughts majestically
I’m resigned to put it simply
Walk with me
Run with me
Stand with me
To put it simply, simply yeah
Live with me
Work with me
Be with me
To put it simply, simply yeah
Though I try to express my thoughts majestically
I’m resigned to put it simply
Were I a poet
I could write a metaphor
Of love that would show it
And then show a little more
But I’m just another
One with eloquence left out
Whose feelings are smothered
When I try to smoke them out
Though I try to express my thoughts poetically
I’m resigned to put it simply
Stay with me
Share with me
Talk with me
To put it simply, simply yeah
Sleep with me
Wake with me
Sit with me
To put it simply, simply yeah
Laugh with me
Cry with me
Grow old with me
Simply, simply yeah
To put it simply
Just be with me
