Simple Gifts from Old American Songs

Simple Gifts from Old American Songs - Don Becker/Aaron Copland

Written by：Aaron Copland

'Tis the gift to be simple 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be

And when we find ourselves in the place just right

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight

When true simplicity is gain'd

To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd

To turn turn will be our delight

Till by turning turning we come 'round right

'Tis the gift to be simple 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be

And when we find ourselves in the place just right

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight
