Steve Tyrell

Folks are blessed
who make the best of everyday
Living by their own philosophy
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
And I have found the only way for me

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin';
Why mess around with strife
I never was cut out to step and strut out.
Give me the simple life.

Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant.
Those things roll off my knife;
Just serve me tomatoes;
and mashed potatoes;
Give me the simple life.

A cottage small if all I'm after,
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside.

Some like the high road,
I like the low road,
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy,
but yes, indeed-y;
I like the simple life.

Life could be thrilling with one
who's willing
To be a farmer's wife
Kids calling me pappy could
sure make me happy
Give me the simple life

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
you're so lovely
never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

you're so lovely
never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight

I hear her voice in my mind
I know her face by heart
Heaven and earth are moving in my soul
I don't know where to start
Tell me tell me the workds to define
The way I feel about someone so fine

*How do you talk to an angel
How do you hold her close to where you are
How do you talk to an angel
It's like trying to catch a falling star

At night I dream that she is there
And I can feel her in the air
Tell me tell me the words to define
The way I feel about someone so fine

*Repeat

*Repeat

Seems I got to have a change in scene,
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key.

*Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

Baby, you sure took me on one big ride,
And, even now I sit and wonder why.
Then, when I think of you, I start to cry,
I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry.
I got to stop believin' in all your lies,
'Cause I got too much to do before I die.

*Repeat

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

*Repeat

Oh, yeah.

*Repeat

Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

What does it take
To win your love for me
How can I make
This dream come true for me
Ooh I just got to know
Oh baby cause I love you so

I tried I tried I tried I tried
Every way I could
To make you see how much I love you
I thought you understood

Oh, I gotta make you see
What does it take to win
Your love for me
