Simply Red

I thank you for the things you have shown me
Thank you for the love of my life
So far anyway, now it's really really over
O God I really thank you baby

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

I thank you
I really thank you
All of my life
I really thank you

My souvenirs I hold them and remember
All the days for the rest of my life
Truth is I miss you in all the ways you will imagine
See me, feel me I wanna say

Most of all I thank you for your love
Like good people should do anyway

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.
