What's hard is simple What's natural comes hard Maybe you could show me How to let go Lower my guard Learn to be free Maybe if you whistle Whistle for me
I thought we'd be simple together. I thought we'd be happy together. Thought we'd be limitless together. I thought we'd be precious together, butut I was sadly mistaken.

Tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift to come down where you want to be

What do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they're blue?
They sit around and wonder
What royal people do
And that's what simple folk do.
(Lerner/Loewe, from "Camelot")
Ooooh, that Camelot play is a good one.
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

What's natural comes hard
Maybe you could show me
How to let go
Lower my guard
Learn to be free
Maybe if you whistle
Whistle for me

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worry and your strife

Won't you play a simple melody
Like my mother sang to me?
One with a good old fashioned harmony.
Play some simple melody
(Irving Berlin)
Simply the best, better than all the rest!
I'm not sure who sings that? Just a commercial I think?
I thought we'd be simple together.
I thought we'd be happy together.
Thought we'd be limitless together.
I thought we'd be precious together, butut I was sadly mistaken.

It was then he felt alone & wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
