You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow
Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose
I gave you all I had
Everything I owned
Right down to the pedestal, I put you on
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away.

Well, this morning when I woke up
I knew everything had changed
But it ain't so simple for a man
Whose whole world he has to rearrange
Said you've found something in another
You just couldn't find in me
Baby I love you so much
But I guess I'll have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

I've been pleading with my maker
To ease this pain and take my pride
But it still feels like my heart's been laid open wide
My hands are shakin' as I think of all I have to do
My life will never be the same
Not like it was with you

Said you've found something in another
You just couldn't find in me
Well baby I love you so much
But I guess I'll have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

Lord, it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away...
