David Taxin' - Simple Days

I say don't ask for simple days
Or long for days of yesteryear
Don't ask for simple days
Cause they're still here

Some folks are always wishin'
Yearnin' for the past
They say life's complicated now
Change is comin' too fast

But I say that change is constant
Throughout eternity
But the only thing that's never changed
Is life's simplicity

Like sittin' with friends and neighbors and talkin' through the night
Or bein' with your baby 'neath the summer's pale moonlight
It's tellin' a bedtime story, or singin' a child to sleep
Or eatin' a home cooked dinner gathered with your family
It's sharin' the wonder of the sunset, and the beauty of the plains
Though history marches on these truths don't change

I say nostalgia has its place
But not for cryin' in your beer
Don't ask for simple days
Cause they're still here

I say nostalgia has its place
But I'm not gonna shed a tear
Don't ask for simple days
Cause they're still here

Sometimes there's piece of mind, lookin' back in time, to how things used to be
But that just don't help me find the beauty in each day's simplicity

So I don't ask for simple days
Or complain about the way life's changed
History keeps marchin' on
But life's essence remains clear

I say nostalgia has its place
But I'm not gonna shed a tear
Don't ask for simple days
Cause they're still here
Don't ask for simple days
Cause they're still here
