Simply Red

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Fear has no reason to doubt them
They tell me so
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

Piano solo

Here from the top of a mountain
I see you there
In the cool night air
Someday in my life

Storms may rage on about them
They hail and snow
Yet they will never know
You are here in my life

Wherever I go now
I'll follow you
And my heart will be true
I have never known someone
To stay right here
Soon you will be right here
Someday in my life

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.
