(Steve Dean - Billy Dean)

I'm no scholar and I'm no philosopher
But I've lived and I've learned a thing or two
It don't help to worry there's no need to hurry
And it don't take a lot to pull you through.

Like your favirite song, a call from home
Or the rain that falls across your windowpane
A season change, the smell of springtime in May
A precious child, a baby's smile
Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night
Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times.

Life's a puzzle sometimes a struggle
At times it's more than you can take
But look around you I know you're bound to
Find something that will brighten up your day.

Like your favirite song, a call from home
Or the rain that falls across your windowpane
A season change, the smell of springtime in May
A precious child, a baby's smile
Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night
Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times.

Like a precious child, a baby's smile
Or your woman's love to keep you warm at night
Oh, you know the simple things can get you through the hardest times...
