Simple And True

Ooh
Ooh
If I start with a guitar
Even though I don't play well
And be still, until the melody
Claims what's on my heart
Then it won't have to stay there
And soon I can set it free
Simple and true
I just don't know
What I'm gonna do without you
Simple and plain
And I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true
I still love you
Ooh
Ooh
If I hold this in my hands
And I rock back and forth
Could I soothe me a song to sing
To add to the millions of other
Songs to lost lovers?
Would mine lift up a spirit at all?
If you hear it
Simple and true
I just don't know
What I'm gonna do without you
Simple and plain
And I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true
Simple, oh
I just don't know
Simple and plain
I just don't know
How I would ever say it any other way
Simple and true
That I can't make myself let go, too
Simple and true
I still love you
Ooh
Ooh
