Out in the backyard down by the creek Theres some initials on an old oak tree A rope still dangles that old tire swing How did we ever forgetthose simple things Through the years weve lost sight Of those dreams that we dreamed What went wrong we were right for each other Now I long for those times and all too often it seems How I wish that we hadnt let go of those Simple Things Down on the corner at the five and dime Thats were we shared our very first kiss You gave me your heart and I promised you mine How did we ever forget those simple things Through the years weve lost sight Of those dreams that we dreamed What went wrong we were right for each other Now I long for those times and all too often it seems How I wish that we hadnt let go of those Simple Things Caught up in life we forget The true joy that only love can bring Each day we should bow our heads and pray Cause we are so lucky to be blessed Through the years weve lost sight Of those dreams that we dreamed What went wrong we were right for each other Now I long for those times and all too often it seems How I wish that wed never let go of those Simple Things Out in the backyard down by the creek Theres some initials on an old oak tree A rope still dangles that old tire swing How did we ever forgetthose simple things
