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 could 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
Chorus:
You’d be so easy to love
So easy to idolize, all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the 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
