Loving Her Was Easier

(Kris Kristofferson)



I have seen the morning burning golden

On the mountain in the skies

Aching with the feeling of the freedom

Of an eagle when she flies.



Turning on the world the way 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 have to spend.



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 ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend.



I don't know the answers to the easy way

She opened every door to my mind

But dreaming was as easy

As believing it was never gonna end.



And loving her was easier

Than anything I'll ever do again...
