Easy To Say (But Hard To Do)

(album: Swing Softly - 1958)

It's easy to tell my empty arms
"Don't ache, don't ache although she's leaving you"
Easy to say, but oh, so hard to do

It's easy to tell my lonely heart
"Don't break, don't break, though you and love are through"
Easy to say, but oh, so hard to do

Tell a kid to be gay
When you've taken his candy away
Tell a bird not to fly
You're as foolish as I if you try

I said to myself a million times
"Forget, forget and find someone new."
Easy to say, but oh, so hard to do

Easy to say, but oh, so very hard to do

It's easy to say, but oh, so hard to do

Tell a kid to be gay
When you've taken his candy away
Tell a bird not to fly
You're as foolish as I if you try

I said to myself a million times
"Forget, forget and find somebody new."
Easy to say, but oh, so hard
Easy to say, but oh, so hard
It's easy to say, but oh, so hard to do
Oh so very hard to do
Ooh, so hard to do
Ooh, oh, so hard to do
