Simple Pleasures

Lyrics and Melody by: Michael Riser

Music by: Michael Riser

I was walking, down a one way boulevard

Window shopping, didn’t have my Visa card

Then it hit me, what I’ve got is all I need

My love is with me, the best things in life are free

Simple pleasures, cool wind across my body

My baby’s by my side, and the sun is all around me

Simple pleasures, the kind that take me home

The pleasures I can’t buy, are the best I’ve ever known

I was talking, to a friend the other day

He was balking, at the words I had to say

So I asked him, “what’s the last thing that you bought

that hasn’t broken, and was it all that you thought”?

Simple pleasures, cool wind across my body

My baby’s by my side, and the sun is all around me

Simple pleasures, the kind that take me home

The pleasures I can’t buy, are the best I’ve ever known

Stop your tension, shun convention’s, false pretensions

No more pressure, life’s a treasure, feel the pleasure

Simple pleasures, cool wind across my body

My baby’s by my side

Simple pleasures, the kind that take me home

These pleasures I can’t buy
