I'm no scholar

And I'm no philosopher

But I've lived and I've learned a thing or two

It don't help to worry

There's no need to hurry

And it don't take a lot to pull you through

Like your favorite song, a call from home

Or the rain that falls across your window pane

A season change, the smell of springtime in May

A precious child, a baby's smile

Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night

Oh, you know the simple things

Will get you through the hardest times

Now life's a puzzle

And sometimes a struggle

And at times, Lord, it's more than you can take

But look around you

I know you're bound to find something

That will brighten up your day

Like your favorite song, a call from home

Or the rain that falls across your window pane

A season change, the smell of springtime in May

A precious child, a baby's smile

Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night

Oh, you know the simple things

Will get you through the hardest times

Like a precious child, a baby's smile

Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night

Oh, you know the simple things

Will get you through the hardest times
