Simple Pleasures - Basia

you don't have to be so strong 
don't move mountains for me 
don't slay a dragon 
every time you run back here 
you are more than a knight in shining armour 
who would need a prince... 
anyway i don't believe in fairy tales 
let's leave them for the dreamers 
there is something much more real i'm after-- 

simple pleasures--bliss i finally found 
in ordinary home-made treasures 
on familiar ground 
when i'm with you--the time's so precious 
hours flying past 
we've got to take some long-term measures 
so simple joy is here to last 

don't go yet... 
i'll be missing your smile, 
your gentle voice, so soothing... 
very night and day i will long for the warmth 
of your embrace 
so who would need a prince 
anyway i don't believe in fairy tales 
let's leave them for the dreamers 
there is something much more real i'm after--
