sometimes (i wish)

if i was a simple man

would we still walk hand in hand?

and if i suddenly went blind

would you still look in my eyes?

what happens when i grow old?

and all my stories have been told?

will your heart still race for me?

or will it march to a new beat?

if i was a simple man

if i was a simple man

i'd own no home

i'd own no land

would you still stand by my side?

and would our flame still burn so bright?

sometimes i wonder why

i'm so full of these endless rhymes

about the way i feel inside

i wish i could just get it right

if i was a simple man

and i could make you understand

there'd be no reason to think twice

you'd be my sun; you'd be my light

if i was a simple man. if i was a simple man. sometimes i wonder why

i'm so full of these endless rhymes

about the way i feel inside

i wish. sometimes.
