"Simple Things In Life" by Jakubowski

Flat on my back in the vineyards
With a hat tipped over my face
When time is slow and the sun is low
Is there any other place?
My new met friends are just down the road
Later we’ll dance and we’ll sing
Washed in wine and southern comforts
We’ll bring the night on in
Sadness and pain will visit again but I won’t be waiting around
I’ll be on my way as the new light of day climbs from the ground
So here’s to times in firelight
Amongst the endless summer nights
Here’s to the world that’s in our palms and the joy that has no price
So raise your glass and clap your hands for the simple things in life

I awoke in the light of the morning
With a kiss and the drink on my breath
Carried my feet down a dusty road
Feeling like I’d met my death
But the sunlight is curing my illness
As hear of a chance to the west
Put all my troubled thoughts away
We’ll all bring out our best
Come with me for time’s too precious to wait around for the gloom
You can always rely on it coming by soon
So here’s to us who make the most
Of every cause to raise a toast
Here’s to the world that’s in our palms and the joy that has no price
So raise your glass and clap your hands for the simple things in life.

So here’s to the health of every friend
And here’s to hoping it never ends
Here’s to the world that’s in our palms and the joy that has no price
So raise your glass and clap your hands for the simple things in life.
