It Was So Easy (2023 Remaster)

It Was So Easy (2023 Remaster) - Carly Simon

Lyrics by：Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

Produced by：Richard Perry

I remember a time rompin' through the woods

Sun against our skin instead of clothes

When we felt hungry we would eat

Whn we felt glad we would 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

No only on 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 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
