"Loving You Is Easy" lyrics:
Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the rooftops
How long must I wait 'till I see your smile?
Might have been the moonlight
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes
So wicked and I know I should go slow
but its not in me to wait
'Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire
Shot like a starburst into the sky
Ahh the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies
You light me up you take me higher
I've been down a long road
I'd become a stranger to myself
Digging in my heels and hoping time might be kinder
if I wait it out
But nothing came from wanting
And I became so small and insecure
Didn't know the cost of all I'd lost till I found it fresh and new
again, with you
'Cause I'm on fire
Shot like a starburst into the sky
All the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies
You light me up you take me higher
Loving you is easy
Loving you is wondrous and pure
I shout it from the rooftops
How long must I wait 'till I see your smile?
Changes
I can't believe that you're walking away from us
Could not conceive we'd ever be done
But I feel you drifting you don't have to hide from me
I just keep hoping you let me in
Maybe I can't help but talking may, I am here for you
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves
like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me now?
The candle burned out
and we stumbled around in the dark
And I can feel you slipping away
The band keeps on playing the world keeps revolving
Around all the static, the noise in between
And we need to hear that song again,
let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves
like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
New walls new ladders, none of this matters
We can't walk on water, we can only do better
If its not forever, if it's time to go I will always remember
I want you to know
When you held me in your arms and said, let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves
like every one
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
