Lyrics

We'll climb aboard a 'plane and say goodbye to rain, hello sunshine.
There's a little place in France, where we can find romance and live the good life.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.

We will make our stand living off the land, and we will be together.
You are all I need and like a forest from a seed our love will grow forever.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.

With all this pressure we live in complicated times.
There must be some way to live a simpler way of life.

So come on take my hand, we'll walk along the sand sharing dreams together.
We'll watch the sun go down, and with no one else around, fall in love forever.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.

Who needs this pressure and all its complicated ties,
When it's much better to live a simple way of life.

So one day when we're old the heavens will unfold and we will lie together.
But people won't be sad, they will say we had such a good life.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.
A simple way of life, a simple way of life.
So live a simple way of life, live a simple way of life.
A simple way of life, oh yeah, a simple way of life.
