It Was So Easy

Composer：Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

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.
