"Simple" lyrics - CHRISTOPHER CROSS

The past and the future
Is a bad neighborhood
I'd live in the present if only I could
When I'm in the moment
It's nothing but good
So very still

Holding the silence up to my ear
A sound that's so beautiful
No one can hear
A sound that's so awesome
No one comes near
So very still

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It's the way

Every molecule under the sun
All of the energy running the fun
Patiently whispering you are all one

So very still

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Trying to peel the rubbish away
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Boiling it down to only today
It's the way

Ooh there's nothing like a romance
And life without physical love - not a chance
But deep down beneath that primitive dance
The song of the universe hums

Nobody said love was easy but

Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Wiping the culture off of my soul
Love is simple, love is simple, love is simple
Keeping it real, keeping me whole
