Simple ThingsAmy Grant

Songwriter: Keith Thomas William Owsley III Dillon O’Brian Amy Grant

[Verse 1]
Wake up, baby, look around
Birds sing, ooh that sound
Reminds me of a line
From unchained melody
Feel like I'm a little girl
Best thing in the whole wide world
Is I can see the makings of a memory

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember how it used to be
Well I'm still dreaming

[Chorus]
'Cause I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things

[Verse 2]
Ain't nothing like a sunny day
Chit-chat at a street cafe
Just paint the picture, baby
Where you wanna be
Take a walk, take a ride
So far, you and I
Don't need a plan
But we can share
This reverie

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember how I used to want it all
Funny now the big things seem so small

[Chorus]
I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things

[Bridge]
Through all the days
The blues, the greys
A ray of light keeps shining

[Interlude]

I believe in simple things

[Bridge]
Through all the days
The blues, the greys
A ray of light was shining

[Chorus]
I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things

I dream of simple things
I can believe in
I believe in simple things

[Outro]
I dream of simple things
I can believe in
Like the feeling this day brings
True love and the miracle of forgiving
I believe in simple things

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
