It Was So Easy

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 doze

It was so easy then

Never taking any stands

It was so easy then

Holdin' hands

I remember a time when our fears could be named

And courage meant not refusing dares

I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks

No, only in the squares or else we'd be abducted by the bears

It was so easy then

Never making any plans

It was so easy then

Holdin' hands

It was so easy then

Never making any plans

It was so easy then

Holdin' hands

And now we are grown, with debts and regrets

And broken hearts and sentimental schemes

Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams

Love can drive a normal woman to extremes

It was so easy once

Holdin' hands without a plan

It was so easy once

Holdin' hands

Just holdin' hands
