Easy to Love
Unrequited Yearning: Easy to Love by Bill Evans
Lyrics
I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
I acknowledge that I am wasting valuable time
In thinking such a thing could be
Expressing doubt that a certain possibility could exist
That you could ever care for me
Doubting the likelihood of you ever having affection for me
I'm sure you hate to hear
Acknowledging the discomfort in hearing my admiration
That I adore you, dear
Despite that, admitting my deep affection for you
But grant me
Requesting something despite the challenges
Just the same
Regardless,
I'm not entirely to blame
Claiming not to be entirely responsible
For love
Considering the nature of love
You'd be so easy to love
Stating that you would be easy to love
So easy to idolize
Affirming that you would be easy to idealize
All others above
Placing you above all others
So worth the yearning for
Emphasizing your worth and desirability
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
Describing the pleasure of maintaining a constant longing for you
We'd be so grand at the game
Envisioning a splendid partnership in the game of love
So carefree together
Imagining carefree togetherness
That it does seem a shame
Expressing regret that it seems unlikely
That you can't see
Regretting your inability to foresee a future with me
Your future with me
Asserting the ease with which a future together could be
Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
Reiterating that you would be effortlessly lovable
