If I was a simple man, 
Would we still walk hand in hand? 
And if I suddenly went blind, 
Would you still look in my eyes? 
What happens when I grow old? 
And all my stories have been told? 
Will your heart still race for me? 
Or will it march to a new beat? 
If I was a simple man 

If I was a simple man, 
I’d own no home, I’d own no land 
Would you still stand by my side? 
And would our flame still burn so bright? 

Sometimes I wonder why, 
I’m so full of these endless rhymes 
About the way I feel inside 
I wish I could just get it right 

If I was a simple man 
And I could make you understand 
There’d be no reason to think twice 
You’d be my sun; you’d be my light 
If I was a simple man… 
If I was a simple man… 

Sometimes I wonder why 
I’m so full of these endless rhymes 
About the way I feel inside 
I wish… 
Sometimes… (x 12)
