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
