kris kristofferson
From Kris' second album "The Silver Tongued Devil and I" (1971), but first recorded by Waylon Jennings late '70, then Ray Price and Bobby Bare. Easy to like and easy to play and ... easy to write? The original goes C, F, G. I like it better A major, and out of common decency I've added a minor chord :-D
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the sky
aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
talking of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend :
loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
coming close together with a feeling that I've never know before in my time
she ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
but dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
and loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
