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
