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 danced

And whenever we felt drowsy, we would doze

It was so easy then never takin' 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

Nor only in the squares

Or else we'd be abducted by the bears

It was so easy then never makin' any plans

It was so easy then holdin' hands

It was so easy then never makin' any plans

It was so easy then holdin' hands

And now we are grown

With debts and regrets

And a broken heart and sentimental schemes

Now every time we fail, it 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
