Jake Walden - Simple Life Lyrics
You say, we’re getting olderYou say, remember when?When we were youngerAnd a Mother hungeredFor a simple life….I remember years ago when you came into my roomI’d scream and then I’d laugh at you, like a teenage boy will doNot a brother then or friend to say,“You’re too beautiful to count the waysâ€You were lovely with your broken smileI was blinded by your lightSeventeen and almost grownI found a place to call my ownYou came into my door that night so alive alive aliveWe drank the wine that night to take the dareIt hit you hardI held your hairYou were lovely with your broken smileI began to see the lightYeah, when you’re feeling a little lowYeah, when you’re cryin’ out for moreYeah, I’ll be runningNever far from where you areTwenty four he broke your heartThey flew me home to see your darkThrough a canyon deep in desert landWe would drive and drive and driveYou said “let’s melt into the ground todayStare at the clouds and laugh awayâ€You were lovely with your broken smileI was proud to see your lightI’m thinking 50 years from nowWhen all is said and doneWith babies grown and lovers goneTo time and time and timeWe’ll recall the days when Mom would say“You’re too beautiful to count the waysâ€You’ll be lovely with your broken smileWhen you rise into the lightYeah, when you’re feeling a little lowYeah, when you’re cryin’ out for moreYeah, I’ll be runningNever far from where you areThey’ll say, “we’re gettin’ olderâ€They’ll say, “remember when?When they were younger and a Mother hungeredFor a simple lifeA simple life.â€
