lyrics

"The Simple Things"

da da da

Oh my face hurts when it’s cold
And being bundled in layers and layers of old coats
Don’t seem to do anything for my nose
Out of gas on the side of the road
With our destination still miles and miles to go
I can no longer feel my fingers or toes

But while I’m cursing at the car
You’re looking at the stars so bright
You said they look like Christmas lights
You said it is a perfect night
To have us the time of our lives

It really doesn’t matter if it rains or snows
Or if we’re late for dinner or we never go
I’m just glad that we’re together when the storms roll in
Help me celebrate this Christmas and the simple things

da da da

My back is tired and your head aches
But they greet us with big toothy smiles as we pull in the driveway
We're lining up for everyone’s embrace
We may be worn from the long drive
So come and ease your mind
And park yourself by the fire
You don’t even need to stay awake

But while my face is in my phone
You’re playing in the snow, so free
Every tree is a Christmas tree
You said, "Come on and dance with me
We have us the time of our lives"

It really doesn’t matter if it rains or snows
Or if we’re late for dinner or we never show
I’m just glad that we’re together when the storms roll in
Help me celebrate this Christmas and the simple things

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Your eyes are tired
But your heart is light
Your smile is warm
It’s Christmastime

We'd been whirling like a cyclone
When we found ourselves alone
Underneath the mistletoe
You said, "There’s something you should know
I’m having the time of my life"

It really doesn’t matter if it rains or snows
Or if we’re late for dinner or we never show
I’m just glad that we’re together when the storms roll in
Help me celebrate this Christmas and the simple things
It really doesn’t matter if it rains or snows
Or if we’re late for dinner or we never go
I’m just glad that we’re together when the storms roll in
Help me celebrate this Christmas and the simple things

da da da
