A Simple Song Lyrics

I wanna tell you things that steal your heart away

'Cuz you're my wildest dream straight from a fairytale

I wasn't born a Shakespeare or Mozart


Penning poignant pieces of your heart


But maybe loving someone's enough


Like walking blindfold without a map

Or running barefoot on jagged rocks

I'm helpless save for your guiding touch

So I just wanted to write

A Simple Song for you

No fancy chords, no symphony

A Simple Song for you

No metaphors or poetry


A lowly artist painting you with words


Trying my hardest to capture you're worth


A million florins wouldn't be enough


To buy the finest diadem called Love


Say you'll take my little gift of a simple love song

I will hold your hand through untravelled lands

Two diverging roads, you're the path I chose

I wasn't born with the songs of Rosini


Painting portraits like Botticelli


But I would go anywhere you go

Show you my cards everytime you fold


Lend you my wings if you wanna fall

Show my side never seen before

So I just wanted to write

A Simple Song for you

No fancy chords, no symphony

A Simple Song for you

No metaphors or poetry

A lowly artist painting you with words


Trying my hardest to capture you're worth


A million florins wouldn't be enough


To buy the finest diadem called Love


Say you'll take my little gift of a simple love song

I know this is the age of sophistication

'Cuz fancy's all the rage in this generation

Superfluous pursuits

Feeling good but used

Surrounded by these empty highs

Like trapped inside a gilded mine

All I own's the beat in my soul

And all I know's it's worth more than gold

So I just wanted to write

A Simple Song for you

No fancy chords, no symphony

A Simple Song for you

No metaphors or poetry

A lowly artist painting you with words


Trying my hardest to capture you're worth


A million florins wouldn't be enough


To buy the finest diadem called Love


That's ardent, blissful as the rays of dawn

Heartfelt as this simple love song
