Nothing Good Comes Easy

(album: On The Move - 1976)

I've written you how many words and still can't seem to say
Quite enough or well enough, or ever just the right way
I try to be the world to you the way you are to me
But sometimes it seems like the more I try the harder you are to please

And I just wish that I could sing what song the best you'd ever heard
Or paint the prettiest picture yet or find the perfect word
Or just be the best at anything that would mean just that to you
But nothing good comes easy, no, not for me and you

And you've told me how many times how much I mean to you
And I ought to know you love me by now
And I guess deep down I do
But being loved and feeling loved are not always the same
And I do believe you can love someone not even know their name

But someday I'm gonna sing my song the best you've ever heard
Or paint the prettiest picture yet or find the perfect word
Or just be the best at something that would mean just that to you
But I know it would come easy, no, not for me and you
Cause nothing good comes easy, no, not even me and you
