It Was So Easy

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
