Simply Love
Words and music by Holly Near
Originally recorded on Singing With You, reissued on Simply Love: The Women's Music Collection, re-recorded on Musical Highlights
Why does my love make you shift restless
in your chair
And leave you in despair
It's simply love – my love for a woman

It's a simple hand on a warm face to say
A glance to see if love is still ok
A glow at dawn when love is still there
Tears and strong arms at the end of the day
And simply love – my love for a woman

It's the laughter as the kids clown
And tease our weary thoughts away
It's looking 'round the table
And knowing hard work fed us one more day
And simply love – my love for a woman

Why does my love make you shift in your chair
It's the bombs across the border
That should make you tear your hair
And yet it's my love leaves you screaming
out your nightmare

Perhaps you know there's something you
should fear
If my love makes me strong and makes
you disappear
It's simply love – my love for a woman
