Tina Turner---Easy As Life


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice

This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die

All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died


It's easy, it's easy


Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Tender in his manner _____ consolation
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away


It's easy, easy as life


All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start


It's easy, it's easy


Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away


It's easy, it's easy as life


And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done


Are easy, so easy


And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above


It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life
