Out in the backyard down by the creek
There’s some initials on an old oak tree
A rope still dangles that old tire swing
How did we ever forget…those simple things
Through the years we’ve 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 hadn’t let go of those Simple Things
Down on the corner at the five and dime
That’s 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 we’ve 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 hadn’t 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 we’ve 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’d never let go of those Simple Things
Out in the backyard down by the creek
There’s some initials on an old oak tree
A rope still dangles that old tire swing
How did we ever forget…those simple things
