If you love the life you live
|
Then you'll get a lot more done
|
Be more inclined to take the reins
|
Than turn away and run
|
It's very rare it seems to get a lifetime guarantee,
|
So I suppose self satisfaction be the key
|
My father is a wealthy, self made man
|
But his wealth does not consist of riches or acres of land
|
Instead he has a family who are
|
His biggest fans
|
That's something that I one day hope to have
|
So I'll cherish the simple things
|
The easy took for granted things
|
Like going round my Mum's house for my tea
|
And argue with my sister,
|
Only God knows how I missed her
|
It's the simple things that mean the most to me
|
|
Argh, he gets up each day at five
|
Starts the car and makes the drive
|
Shutters up, starts the fryers
|
Serves out food to all the buyers in the town
|
As they stand there in the same old line
|
Get there every day at the same old time
|
No, you never hear him grumble and groan
|
Cause they're the people in the line that he built it on
|
And like me he cherished the simple things
|
The easy took for granted things
|
Like going round his Mum's house for my tea
|
And argue with his sister,
|
Only God knows how he missed her
|
It's the simple things tha mean the most to... him
