The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics:
I know too well that I’m
Just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be,
That you would ever care for me,
I’m sure you hate to hear
That I adore you, dear,
But grant me, just the same,
I’m not entirely to blame, For
REFRAIN:
You’d be so easy to love,
So easy to idolize, all others above,
Be worth the yearning for,
So swell to keep ev’ry home fire burning for,
We’d be so grand at the game,
So carefree together, that it does seem a shame,
That you can’t see
Your future with me,
‘Cause you’d be oh, so easy to love!
