Lyrics

LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE 10/23/17
(SONG FOR CHRIS, MY SON)

MUSIC AND LYRICS: RICHARD HOLLEY

CHORUS
LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE, MY SON
BE KIND TO EVERYONE
AT NIGHT WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
TURN YOUR THOUGHTS TO GOD

SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR ME
AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY
WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE MY SON

VERSES 1&2
SO MANY ROADS TO TRAVEL
THEY MAY TAKE YOU FAR AND WIDE
MAY YOUR LOVING WIFE AND CHILDREN
BE ALWAYS AT YOUR SIDE

SOME PEOPLE MAKE THEIR FORTUNES
THEY COLLECT SO MANY THINGS
MAY YOU KEEP THE PATH OF GOODNESS
THAT LOVING-KINDNESS BRINGS

CHORUS (Repeat)
LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE, MY SON
BE KIND TO EVERYONE
AT NIGHT WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
TURN YOUR THOUGHTS TO GOD

SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR ME
AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY
WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE MY SON

VERSES 3&4
MAY YOUR SPIRIT NOT BE BROKEN
WHEN TROUBLE COMES YOUR WAY
MAY YOUR LOVED ONES RALLY TO YOU
TO HELP YOU EVERYDAY

MAY YOU ALWAYS TRY TO COMFORT
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU CAN
SO WHEN YOUR HOURGLASS IS EMPTY
YOU WILL HAVE LIVED YOUR LIFE TO PLAN

CHORUS (Repeat)
END on first bit of Chorus chords
