SHOESTRING - Thirty something - 06 - Simple joys of life




And so I come to the last song of 'Thirty something'. It's a tune about the little things that bring a smile to my face. It's called 'Simple joys of life'.

Having come to the end of the show, it's time to say my 'thank yous'.

Ricky Kej, Abhijit Shylanath, Dominic D'Cruz and Robert D'Souza. Writer though I am, I can't quite find the words that capture the extent of my appreciation for your help. I owe you more than one. Thank you fellas. This is a dream come true.

Lyrics

SHOESTRING - Simple joys of life

To meet an old friend whom I haven’t seen for years
To have a shoulder to cry on when I am in tears
To have someone whom I can call a true friend of mine
Yeah I still live for the simple joys of life
Yeah I still live for the simple joys of life

The smell of the earth after a spot of rain
The first smile that comes to me when I am in pain
To be able to say the truth just because it is right
Yeah I still live for the simple joys of life
Yeah I still live for the simple joys of life


To hold my baby close to me before she goes to sleep
To be able to give away something I’d like to keep

Do we really have to say something we don’t mean
Do we really have to cry over something we don’t feel
These are some of the little things I fail to understand
Cos I still live for the simple joys of life
Yeah I still live for the simple joys of life
