I just wanna' see your face

Collapse in your embrace

Smell the coffee brewing

As I remove the sheets

I Hear the… kids laughing

Jumping on their beds

From behind me

He caresses both of my hands

I feel it gently

Lips planted in my hair

Whispers I love you

I say it right back

I want the simple things when I wake up in the morning

Half asleep, yawning

Sayin a prayer

I got a photo of you mom, and I wish you were here

To watch the children build their dreams

I hope today will bring …the simple things...the simple things

I check the weather

Should the baby wear a sweater

It might be getting cold for those little toes

I got dishes in the sink

I'm juggling everything

Got a basket still full of last week's washed clothes

And so sweetly

I get a hug

And a little voice saying

Good morning mum

These are the simple things when I wake up in the morning

Half asleep, yawning

And sayin a prayer

I see a photo of you mom and I wish you were here to

Watch the children build their dreams

Yeah - I've got all I need - the simple things

Oh the simple things

Give them a kiss, turn off the light

Doin my best to raise 'em right

I love the simple things when I wake up in the morning

Half asleep, yawning

Sayin a prayer

I love the simple things when I wake up in the morning

Half asleep, yawning

Sayin a prayer

I see a photo of you mom and I wish you were here

I remember all I've dreamed

I never thought it'd be… the simple, the simple things

Ohh, the simple...the simple things

Oh, Yeah

Ohh, the simple things
