LOVING HER WAS EASIERKris KristoffersonI’ve seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skiesAching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she fliesTurning on the world the way she smiles upon my soul as i lay diingHealing with the colors of the sunshine and the shadow of her eyesWaking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skinWiping out the traces of the people and the places that i’ve beenTeaching me that yesterday was something that i never thought of tryingTalking about tomorrow and the money love and time we’d have to spendLoving her was easier than anything i’ll ever do againComing close together with a feeling that i’ve never know before, in my timeShe ain’t afraid to be a woman or afraid to be a friendI don’t know the answer to the easy way she opens every door in my mindDreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna endLoving her was easier than anything i’ll ever do again
