Life Could Be so Simple

It was a cloudy day

Stuck in traffic jam

Swamped on a busy street

Noise feelin' like clam

Already on the edge

A streamer on the rise

The driver smiles at me

And says, "Life could be so simple

Takin' the day away

Makin' time for some loving

Put your song on replay

Or watchin' an old time movie

Follow the clouds go by

And drift in the sky

Things'll never fit in place

If you stay so uptight

Just drop of your pretense

To make them right"

So when you get a bad day

And things turn to the worst

Remember his words

Life could be so simple

Takin' the day away

Makin' time for some loving

Put your song on replay

Or watchin' an old time movie

Follow the clouds go by

And drift in the sky

Life could be so simple

Takin' the day away

Makin' time for some loving

Put your song on replay

Or watchin' an old time movie

Watch as the clouds go by

Oh, and drift in the sky
