Don't Need Much To Be Happy Lyrics - Ashes & Roses - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Don't need much to be happy 

Four walls and a roof overhead 

Books and food in my belly 

Cool sheets upon the bed 

A fire that warms up December 

The sound of a thaw in the eaves 

Sometimes it's hard to remember 

How tough we are to please 

All in good time 

Somehow I find 

Days that still shine with light 

All in good stead 

I'm safe and I'm fed 

With dreams in my head 

Good night

The feel of my hand being taken 

Driving at night all alone 

The breeze on a warm summer evening 

And coming home 

All in good time 

Somehow you find 

Days that still shine with light 

All in good stead 

You're safe and you're fed 

With dreams in your head 

Good night 

Don't need much to be happy 

A friend to soften a fall 

And something to show for my labors 

After all 

Photos 

I had to learn to be grateful 

I had to learn how to see 

Mistakes that might have proved fatal 

Are gifts I now receive
