Life Could Be Easy (Murray/Presser/Rice)
as the wind of avowal howls
down a cold and narrow street
to a grim and forgotten corner
where words and action used to meet
while the talk only passes hours
what we do means more than what we say
and that’s why our own little precious problems
end up getting in our way
ooo – life could be easy if we let it
ooo – life could be so sweet
oh the trees would be greener
if we cast away our blues
and the fruit would be sweeter in our mouths
if our minds were not so sour
what was once out of reach is ours
if we take care to be carefree
oh what a life, what a life it could be
just waiting to be lived by you and me
