(m. riperton - r. rudolph)         If simon says be glad today   I surely do what simon say   And if youl like to see me smile   Then you're in luck cause that's my style      My pretty bird up in the tree   I hear the song you sing for me   The sky's fantastic blue or grey   And here we are alive today      Hey...   The simple things   The lovely simple things   The sunset and the dawn   The simple things   The lovely simple things   I could go on and on and on      For the simple pleasures   Are worth more than treasures   That your paper money ever bring      This song is old, this song is new   This song is me, this song is you   I like to play out in the rain   I like the sun to shine again   And again and again      Each day so many things to see   And I'm so glad I am me   And you, my friends, are pretty too   And I'm so glad that you are you
