Easy to Love
Embracing Unrequited Longing: Easy to Love by Ella Fitzgerald
Lyrics
I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
I acknowledge that I am spending time in vain
In thinking such a thing could be
Entertaining the idea that a romantic connection is possible
That you could ever care for me
Doubting that you could ever have genuine feelings for me
I'm sure you hate to hear that I adore you, dear
I'm aware that you may dislike hearing that I love you
But grant me, just the same
Despite that, please allow me to express my emotions
I'm not entirely to blame
I am not solely responsible for these feelings
For you'd be so easy to love
You would be effortlessly lovable
So easy to idolize
Easy to idealize and place above all others
All others above
So worth the yearning for
Worth the longing and anticipation
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
Desirable enough to keep the passion alive
We'd be so grand at the game
We would excel together in the pursuit of love
So carefree together
Enjoying a carefree and joyful companionship
That it does seem a shame
It's regrettable that you may not realize
That you can't see
The potential future we could share
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love
Because you would be incredibly easy to love
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
