Life could be so easy if the loving weren’t so hard A heart given freely wasn’t meant to be on guard And the joy that living brings you love worries for its own And life could be so easy if the heart could find a home Love could be a keeper you might not think it so I’ve seen it burn so brightly it melted fallen snow Life lights the fire but love feeds the flame When the loving’s easy the living is the same Life is a teacher she’s not afraid to fail But love she’s a healer not a fighter or a jail Life deals from the bottom love holds the winning card And life could be so easy if the loving weren’t so hard One without the other is like the house built on the sand One day it will crumble and slip right through your hands If life’s worth the living love’s worth the pain ’Cause when the living’s easy the loving is the same Life could be so easy if the loving were the same
