about

Things are simple when you share your love - it's a life lesson that can take a lifetime to understand. It just feels right when a song shake shape quickly, based on deeply felt emotions and lived experience, and that was the case with this gong for Babi and me, written for our September 2019 wedding. Thanks to Alisa Rose for her stunning string quartet arrangement.

lyrics

Things are simple when you share your love,
Sun and moon and all the stars above
They shine on you.

Complications they all fall away
When you smile the night becomes the day,
You shine on through.

Things are simple, things are simple, things are simple.

Things are simple when you share your song,
Tell your story and I’ll sing along,
I’ll walk with you.

Conversation at the end of day,
Hold me closely and you’ll hear me say
That I love you.

Things are simple, things are simple, things are simple.

Things are simple when I take your hand,
Pledge my life and give this wedding band,
And say “I do.”

Things are simple, things are simple, things are simple.
