Lyrics
Kris, I wanna do another one of your songs
That you’ll help me out with, will ya?
I have seen the morning burning golden
On the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling
And the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning all my world away
She smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling
Of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that I’ve been
Teaching me that yesterday was something
That I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money
Love and time we had to spend
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
I was close together with a feeling
That I’ve never known, before in my time
You’re not ashamed to be a woman
She’s not afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answers to the easy way
She’s opened every door in my mind
And dreaming is as easy
As believing that it’s never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling
That I’ve never known, before in my time
She’s not ashamed to be a woman
She’s not afraid to be a friend
I don’t know the answers to the easy way
She’s opened every door in my mind
Dreaming is as easy
As believing that it’s never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Loving her was easier
Than anything I’ll ever do again
Thank you all very much
