SIMPLY BARBARA

By “HURRICANE” Gordon Price

October 2002

It’s early in the morning

Time for me to rise and shine

Looks like it might be a sunny day

Maybe things will turn out just fine

I have been living with so many question marks

I have searched for answers in every star

But I have been looking in all the wrong places

The truth was not at all that far

I look close beside me, and there to my surprise

I awoke and discovered

The truth was always right in front of my eyes

Gee what a fool I have been

It has taken way too long

All the answers I have been searching for

Belong in this one song

Simply Barbara, a beauty all along

Simply Barbara, The reason for my song

I can’t wait to tell her, how I feel right now,

I will never be Peter Mayer, but I’ll pretend I’m Tom Sellick anyhow

I’ll ride in on my white horse, and throw a hankie down

I will scoop her up in my big strong arms

And ride her out of town

The crowd will laugh and cheer

Fireworks will paint the clouds

A plane will pull a banner by

That says, “Honey, I finally figured me out”

Simply Barbara, a beauty all along

Simple Barbara, the reason for my song
