Simple - Christopher Cross

The past and the future

Is a bad neighborhood

I’d live in the present if only I could

When I’m in the moment

It’s nothing but good

So very still

Holding the silence up to my ear

A sound that’s so beautiful

No one can hear

A sound that’s so awesome

No one comes near

So very still

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Trying to peel the rubbish away

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Boiling it down to only today

It’s the way

Every molecule under the sun

All of the energy running the fun

Patiently whispering you are all one

So very still

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Trying to peel the rubbish away

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Boiling it down to only today

It’s the way

Ooh there’s nothing like a romance

And life without physical love — not a chance

But deep down beneath that primitive dance

The song of the universe hums

Nobody said love was easy but

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Wiping the culture off of my soul

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple

Keeping it real, keeping me whole
