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 and everything I own
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 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 hearts been
Laid open wide
My hands are shaking
As I think of all I have to do
My life will never be the same
Not like it was with you
Said you 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
Lord, it was so easy to love you, so hard to walk away
