It Was So Easy Lyrics - Songs From The Trees: A Musical Memoir Collection - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman) 

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 

Photos 

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 lead 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
