about

I imagine this as a pop hit for Sonny and Cher in the '60s. This one is for you, and for my bandmates past and present who complain that I write more lyrics than Bob Dylan. Because when you're happy, that's when I'm happy.

lyrics

08 simple song

i wrote a simple song for you
with simple words that all ring true

high and low
and everywhere i go
it mystifies me
you’re right beside me
you and me
together we will be
and when you’re happy
that’s when i’m happy

i wrote a simple melody
a line for you a line for me

well, now you know my simple song
and we can sing it all day long
