Don't need much to be happy

Four walls and a roof overhead

Books and food in my belly

Cool sheets upon the bed A fire that warms up December

The sound of a thaw in the eaves

Sometimes it's hard to remember

How tough we are to please All in good time

Somehow I find

Days that still shine with light

All in good stead

I'm safe and I'm fed

With dreams in my head

Good night The feel of my hand being taken

Driving at night all alone

The breeze on a warm summer evening

And coming home All in good time

Somehow you find

Days that still shine with light

All in good stead

You're safe and you're fed

With dreams in your head

Good night Don't need much to be happy

A friend to soften a fall

And something to show for my labors

After all I had to learn to be grateful

I had to learn how to see

Mistakes that might have proved fatal

Are gifts I now receive
