Lyrics
Simple As I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that you could have more than a poor hard workin' man
I love you and I need you and I ask you for your hand
And my calloused hands will work for you from sunup to sundown
If only you'll accept me as simple as I am
I speak to you with simple words I know no fancy lines
I am just a simple man who wants you to be mine
I cannot offer diamonds just a simple golden band
And I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am
I cannot promise riches love is all I can afford
But I can promise you no one else can love you more
And I can promise you I'll never let you down
If only you'll accept me as simple as I am
I speak to you...
I hope that you'll accept me as simple as I am
