Easy to Love
Captivated Hearts: Barry Harris' Melody of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
I acknowledge that I'm spending valuable time unwisely
In thinking such a thing could be
Realizing that the idea I have is unlikely to come true
That you could ever care for me
Doubting that you could ever feel affection for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
It's probable that you dislike hearing
That I adore you, dear
Despite this, I express my deep affection for you
But grant me
Allow me to
Just the same
Nevertheless
I'm not entirely to blame
I'm not entirely at fault
For love
In matters of love
You'd be so easy to love
You would be effortlessly lovable
So easy to idolize
So easy to idealize
All others above
Above all others
So worth the yearning for
Worthy of the longing and desire
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
Pleasing to maintain a constant passion for
We'd be so grand at the game
We would excel in the pursuit of love
So carefree together
Carefree and happy when together
That it does seem a shame
It's unfortunate that it seems inappropriate
That you can't see
You are unable to perceive
Your future with me
Your potential future with me
Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
Because you would be so effortlessly lovable
