[Verse 1]
Try and keep it simple
Not too far away
Moving slow, so simple
Never felt this way
Moving sweet, so simple
Taking time to say
The way to being, to being simple
Never felt this way
Don't be lonely
Oh, my friends, forget the past
Sweet as sugar
When you're moving
When you're moving slow at last
It's what I like to do
How could it be so simple?
To forget the way
A way to being, to being simple
Never felt this way
Don't be lonely
No, no, no, forget the past
Sweet as sugar
When you're moving slow
Your moving slow at last
It's what I like to do[X4]
Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
It's what I like to do
Sweet as sugar, sugar, sugar
It's what I like to do[X2]
Moving slow, moving slow at last
It's what I like to do[X2]
Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
It's what I like to do[X2]
Sweet as sugar

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
