david simmons - that's why i play lyrics

i sat and watched the waves crashing in
on that white sandy beach
as the sun went down
over this little town
um what a beautiful view
and i see lovers young and old
walking hand and hand in that cool breeze
puts a big smile on my face
one i can’t replace there’s just no way

so i got up and made my way back to the bar
pulled up my stool
and picked up my old guitar
and i played this tune so soft and sweet.
but in my mind i go back in time
oh these memories as a child
free just to be me
that’s why i play
it takes me away
that’s why i play

every time i pick up my guitar
it clears my mind
i’m another person lost in another time
all i do is close my eyes and play a tune
i find a song running through my strings
so you can all sing right along with me
if you could see what i see in your eyes
the laughter the smiles when i play
sometimes i take your mind away
to another place
takes me back to when i was a child
with that same smile
free just to be me
yeah that’s why i play
it takes me away
that’s why i play

when life pushes at me hard
i find a chair and my guitar
maybe sometimes a little goose to get me loose
it helps me smile
and i just play
block out all my troubles of the day
forget about it all …my mind just runs away
and i just play
i just play
right on through the day into the night
as long as it feels right
i’m gonna play

its puts a big smile on my face
h-ll one i can’t replace
it’s just me right where i wanna be all alone
you don’t have to come along
because i’m gonna play all night right into the day
all i do is close my eyes and play a tune
i find a song running through my strings
so you can all sing right along with me
you should see what i see in your eyes
the laughter the smiles when i play
sometimes i take your mind away
to another place
takes me back to when i was a child
with that same smile
free just to be me
yeah that’s why i play
it takes me away
that’s why i play

every time i pick up this guitar
it clears my mind
i’m just another person lost in another time
all i do is close my eyes and
play a tune
i find a song running through my strings
so you can all sing right along with me
if you could see what i see in your eyes
the laughter the smiles when i play
sometimes i take your mind away
to another place
takes me back to when i was a child
with that same smile
free just to be me
yeah that’s why i play
it takes me away
that’s why i play
