I know too well that I’m just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I’m sure you’ll hate to hear
That I adore you, dear
But grant me just the same
I’m not entirely to blame
(Chorus)
For you’d be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So sweet to waken with
So nice to sit down to eggs and bacon with
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
(instrumental break)
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
Oh, how we’d coo, how we’d thrive
In a cottage for two or even three, four, or five
Oh, try to see
Your future with me
'Cause they’d be, oh, so easy to love
