I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies
G D
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
G D
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
G D
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
G D
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
G D
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
G D
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
G D
Talking of tomorrow and the money-loving time we'd have to spend
A7 G D
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
G D
Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time
A7 G D
She ain't ashamed to be a woman she ain't afraid to be a friend
G D
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
A7 G D
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
A7 G D
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
A7 G D
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
