Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - Easy As Life lyrics
rate meSong by Tina Turner<br /><br>
This is the moment when the gods expect me<br>
To beg for help but I won't even try<br>
I want nothing in the world but myself to protect me<br>
But I won't lie down, roll over and die<br>
<br>
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him<br>
All I have to do is put my longing to one side<br>
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation<br>
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died<br>
<br>
It's easy, it's easy<br>
<br>
Until I think about him as he was when I last saw him<br>
And how he would have been were I to be with him today<br>
Tender in his manner __ consolation<br>
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away<br>
<br>
It's easy, easy as life<br>
<br>
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him<br>
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart<br>
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding<br>
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start<br>
<br>
It's easy, it's easy<br>
<br>
Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him<br>
And how he would have been were I to be with him today<br>
Those very rare occasions don't let up, they keep on coming<br>
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away<br>
<br>
It's easy, it's easy as life<br>
<br>
And then I see the faces of a worn defeated people<br>
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run<br>
Is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages<br>
Forcing us to prove that all the hardest things we've done<br>
<br>
Are easy, so easy<br>
<br>
And though I'll think about him until the earth draws in around me<br>
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love<br>
This is no denial, no betrayal, but redemption<br>
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above<br>
<br>
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy as life<br>
<br>
