It was so easy then...(composer Carly Simon) |
LyricsIT WAS SO EASY THEN...I remember a time rompin' through the woods Sun against our skin instead of clothes When we felt hungry we would eat When we felt glad we'd dance And whenever we felt drowsy we would dose It was so easy then - never making any plans It was so easy then - holding hands I remember a time when our fears could be named And courage meant not refusing dares I remember when we took such care to step Never in the cracks - only in the squares Or else we'd be abducted by the bears It was so easy then - never taking any stands It was so easy then - holding hands - just holding hands And now we are grown with debts and regrets And broken hearts and sentimental schemes When every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams Love can drive a normal woman to extremes It was so easy once holding hands without a plan It was so easy once holding hands - just holding hands Words & music: Carly Simon |
