It Seemed So Easy
Eric Carmen · Other Songs - Eric Carmen
Rememberin' the good days
The days when we both
Thought it would stay
Just thinkin' about you
So warm there beside me
I'd look in your eyes
And then you'd say
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be?
It's useless, I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
If I could stop
Tell my heart not to love you
I'd have no reason to go on
I'm tryin' to see, babe
How it's gonna be
It's useless, I know
Each day goes so slow
But I'll always try, babe
Can't accept your goodbye
I'd remember your voice
So soft as you'd sigh
Words of love to me
Of how it would always be
And how the cloudy days
Had all gone by
But now I'm wonderin', babe
If it was all a lie?
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
Because it seemed so easy
When you said goodbye
