[Verse 1]
C/GI have seen the morning burning Fgolden on the mountain in the C/Gskies
C/GAching with the feeling of the Ffreedom of an eagle when she C/Gflies
FTurning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay C/Gdying

[Verse 2]
C/GWaking in the morning to the Ffeeling of her fingers on my C/Gskin
C/GWiping out the traces of the Fpeople and the places that I've C/Gbeen
FTeaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of C/Gtrying
C/GTalking of tomorrow and the Fmoney, love and time we had to C/Gspend
C/GLoving her was easier than Ganything I'll ever do aC/Ggain

 GShe ain't ashamed to be a Fwoman or afraid to be a C/Gfriend

But C/Gdreaming was as easy as beFlieving it was never gonna C/Gend
And C/Gloving her was easier than Ganything I'll ever do aC/Ggain

The story behind the song

This song paints a picture of a love so profound that it makes everything else in life seem difficult by comparison. The lyrics recall the beauty of a new day, with morning burning golden on the mountain, and connect that same healing light to the colors and shadows in a lover's eyes. It's a reflection on shared dreams of tomorrow, of money, love, and time spent together, all culminating in the poignant realization that "loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again." It captures the bittersweet ache of a love that, once experienced, sets an impossibly high standard for all that follows.
