(hummmm) It wasn't a fancy dress or a diamond ring
Not the kind of grace that the poets sing
But the kitchen smoke and the batter on the plate
And the way you giggled when we ate them late
We took a wrong turn down a muddy track
With the rain pouring down,
no turning back
You just laughed out loud
at the navigation guide
Safe and warm right there by my side
(oh-oh-oh) And that sound,
oh, that simple sweet sound
Is the anchor when the world spins around
No, I don't need the fortune or the fame
Just the laugh that you make
when I say your name
Now years have flown by and the hair turns gray
And we still burn the breakfast on a Saturday
But the kitchen's full of the sweetest noise
Through the heavy years and the simple joys And that sound,
oh, that simple sweet sound
Is the anchor when the world spins around
No, I don't need the fortune or the fame
Just the laugh that you make
when I say your name
I never want to live a single day without it
(no-no, never without it) Just keep laughing,
my love (hahaha)
