"Such A Simple Thing" lyrics
The Cast of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry & Passenger Lyrics
(from "The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry" soundtrack)
I used to wear this every spring
When I'd do the gardening
The smell of jasmine in the air
Apple blossom in my hair
Such a simple thing
This looks quite times the size I need
But when you grew inside of me
It was the only thing I'd wear
You and I would sit and share
Such a simple thing
It's time to put them all away
I've no need for yesterday
It does no good to linger
On a past that can't be changed
Time passes by
Cupboards always fade
This wardrobe's not a picture book
Memories that we made
Still, it all comes flooding back
As I flick through every page
And suddenly it's clear to me as yesterday
I remember this old thing
How could I forget
He was wearing it
Or maybe it was wearing him
On the night we met
He was dancing
Like a werewolf in the full moon on a spotlight
I just stood and stared
Like a rabbit in the headlights
Never seen anyone move in the way that he moved that night
Spinning in spot
Like a cartwheel on bonfire night
I never believed in love at first sight
Until I saw him dance that night
You just open your heart
And in comes something new
Falling in love is such a simple thing
Like a light in the dark
Sunshine in the spring
Falling in love is such a simple thing
And in a moment, he was still and staring in my eyes
Like a lightning bolt hit me
And I was hypnotised
And the whole place fell away
And it was only him and I
Like a scene from one of those movies
My mother used to like
And all of the sudden, he was close
Close enough to hear
I remember trembling
As he moved my hair from my ear
Whatever he whispered
As he pulled me near
Shaped the rest of my living years
It shaped the rest of my living years
You just open your heart
And in comes something new
Falling in love is such a simple thing
Like a light in the dark
Sunshine in the spring
Falling in love is such a simple thing
How could I forget
The night we met
When it's the closest thing to heaven
I'll ever get
I have to open my heart
And give it all for free
All bets are off
All debts are cleared
And I finally see
I need to throw
These curtains wide
And show everything
Now I've nothing left to hide
Let it go
Like a landslide
And I can feel it grow inside of me
I need to let
These voices sing
I need to turn to face the sun
And feel the warmth upon my skin
I need to live
And let life win
And now I know it's
Such a simple thing
I'm gonna throw
These curtains wide
I'm gonna show everything
Now I've nothing left to hide
I'm gonna live
And let life win
It's such a simple thing
When I'd do the gardening
The smell of jasmine in the air
Apple blossom in my hair
Such a simple thing
This looks quite times the size I need
But when you grew inside of me
It was the only thing I'd wear
You and I would sit and share
Such a simple thing
It's time to put them all away
I've no need for yesterday
It does no good to linger
On a past that can't be changed
Time passes by
