[Verse 1]
For awhile
I never thought
I ever smile again
But then I heard that simple song
And told myself to sing along, hmm

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Suddenly I finally see that
Things are not so bad
Because I heard that simple song
And told myself to sing along

[Chorus]
And it said when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you

[Verse 2]
Hmm, for awhile
I never understood
How life could be so hard (So hard)
Then I opened up my heart
And gave myself a brand new start, hmm

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then I realized
How beautiful life turns out to be
'Cause when I heard that simple song
I told myself to sing along

[Chorus]
And it said when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you

[Bridge]
And it's okay when nothing goes your way
It's okay when it doesn't seem right
And it's okay when it all falls down
And no one comes around
'Cause we'll laugh about it
Yeah we'll laugh about it

[Chorus]
And when you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
Whoa-whoa
When you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you

[Outro]
Whoa-whoa
When you're feeling blue
Sing a simple song and I'll sing with you
Whoa-whoa
And when you're feeling sad
Know that I'll be true
And I'll sing with you

Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor is a pop singer-songwriter from Nantucket. Before launching her solo career, she wrote songs for the likes of Sia and Sabrina Carpenter. She entered pop stardom with the controversial but danceable body-positivity anthem “All About That Bass,” which led her 2015 debut LP, Title.

In 2016, Meghan released her sophomore effort Thank You, which was preceded by the smash single “NO.” Peaking at #3 on the Hot 100, top 20 track “Me Too” & the reggae-influenced “Better” supported the release of the album.

Staying reasonably quiet in 2017, Trainor dropped the single “I’m A Lady” for the “The The Lost Village.” Trainor underwent vocal surgery during the year and needed time to rest her voice before returning to the limelight.
