Gonna dress up for our date nights
Eat spicy food by candle light
Stand in the rain on a foreign shore
Drinking fine wine with caviar.
 
Wade in waters amongst the coral fish
Hear your soothing voice when I’m feeling sick
Gonna feel the sand down between our toes
As we bathe in the moonlight glow.
 
You see… it’s the simple things that take time
And for those things I don’t
I don’t mind if it takes some time
I don’t… I don’t mind... I don’t… I don’t mind.
 
Going to play songs that only we know
Watch our favourite TV shows
Drink tea as we put the world right
Make out after having a fight.
 
You see it’s the simple things that take time
And for those things I don’t… I don’t
I don’t mind… if it takes some time
I don’t… I don’t mind... I don’t… don’t mind.
 
I wanna stand on top of the Empire State…
Snuggle up with you ‘till the hour’s late
Dance with you when the sky is grey…
Ride in your arms on a boat in May
See your face in the morning light…
Hear your voice as I say goodnight
Speak in code no one else understands...
That we’re making our getaway plans.
 
So the years can come and go
And through it all we’re gonna grow
You see it’s the simple things that take time
And for those things I don’t… I don’t
I don’t mind…if it takes some time
I don’t… I don’t mind…
I don’t mind… I don’t mind
If it takes a lifetime… I don’t mind
I don’t… I don’t mind.
