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 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

Not 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

(interlude)

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 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
