SIMPLE, SIMPLE
(Jack Segal & Evelyn Levine)

Simple, simple, life is a simple tune.
Simple, simple, simple like an exercise.
That's the song I'm writing 'bout my darling's eyes.
Play it on the piano or a sweet celeste,
Just so when she hears it, she will feel she's been caressed.

Simple, simple, simple, not a symphony.
Life is oh so simple 'cause my love loves me.
Play it sweet and simple, gently I insist.
Just so when she hears it she will know that she's been kissed.

Life is oh so simple like a melody.
When I can give all my love to thee.
Life is oh so simple like a melody.
When he can give all his love to me.

Simple, simple, simple, like an exercise.
That's the song I'm singing 'bout my darling's eyes.
I will sing it softly like a cooing dove.
I put it on a record and I'll send it to my love.

[Recorded by Harry Belafonte, 1950.]
