Simply Red

Songwriter: Mick Hucknall

The way you smile that way, it sends me miles away
Daydreaming while I sit, and I think of how lucky I am

Your glowing aura shows, glistening eyes aglow
Paints up the skies I know, that I think that I'm falling

In love again
Big love that’s when

She's the very same woman I've known
And for year after year we have grown
I believe in you more now I’ve known

Big love, big love

Our golden child at play
See her she's miles away
While deep inside I pray
That our love keeps her happy and warm

Her glowing aura shows, glistening eyes aglow
Paints up the skies I know, that I'm sure that I'm falling

In love again
Big love that's when

She's the very same girl that I've known
And for year after year we have grown
I believe in you more now I've known

Big love, big love

Love forever, big love forever
Love forever, big love forever

Big love again
Big love that’s when

She’s the very same woman I've known
And for year after year we have grown
I believe in you more now I’ve known

Big love
Big love
Big love

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
