Written 2016 living at Ben’s home in Soho, down in the veggie garden with my chickens & new ukulele. Inspired by a simply, happy day & my friendship with Tiff.
lyrics
I was writing this morning
Then I did some baking
The sun came out I went in the garden
Weeding for hours with my girls around me
Oh what a sweet, such a sweet day
I tell you it's a sweet, such a sweet day
I wanted to tell you in this way
I wanted to tell you in this way
I'm delighted by the little things
Like laughing with you my friend
The sun when it warms on my skin
And all the sweet colours of spring
Cause love is growing
Oh what a sweet, such a sweet day
I tell you it's a sweet, such a sweet day
I wanted to tell you in this way
I wanted to tell you in this way
A simple life for me
That's all I need
I'll be happy
A simple life for me
That's all I need
I'll be happy
A simple life for me
A simple life for me
