LYRICS:
Sentimental people see the world with a gentleness of fools
Wishful thinking makes the days go by
Every minute is a lullaby
It's the easy thing to do
It's the easy thing to do
And the easy thing to do is love

Tender people still believe in love, broken promises are few
Only hearing what they want to hear
Twisting words to make them sound sincere
It's the easy thing to do
It's the easy thing to do
And the easy thing to do is love

[Bridge]
And the world would be a better place
If it's people didn't have to lie
For the liar is a liar
And only fools himself

If a man could only see himself as a younger man that grew
Love could find a place and, no mistake
Wiser men than he have learned too late
It's the easy thing to do
It's the easy thing to do
And the easy thing to do is love

[Bridge]
And the world would be a better place
If it's people didn't have to lie
For the liar is a liar
And only fools himself

If a man could only see himself as a younger man that grew
Love could find a place and, no mistake
Wiser men than he have learned too late
It's the easy thing to do
It's the easy thing to do
And the easy thing to do is love
