James Taylor - You Make It Easy Lyrics

LOvely inspiring song

James Taylor is an American Treasure. My personal all time favorite artist. (I'm A black dude from da hood) I recognize genius. One of a Kind!

400th thumb's up.....got to love JT.

intro sounds a little like the Eagles pretty maids all in a row. Hmmm.

good gosh almighty james you make it so damn easy to fall for the sweet seduction of your sound just like a baby child hearing songs sittin on his mamas knee

@3:44 "For an OTHERWISE good man to fall"? Or "ANOTHER WIVES good man to fall"?

@3:44 "For an OTHERWISE good man to fall"? or "Another WIVES good man to fall"?

For an otherwise good man to fall. I know plus he uses the word wife earlier in the song, but no hes talking about a true love this song was explained to me by my dad who owned center stage and did all of willie nelsons shows reba, dollie parton, James Taylor, The band, countless. But he sed on a bus J.T. explained this song to him. anyway lyrics are otherwise good man to fall! :)

Thank you Tanner! I used to idolize JT until he was rude to me one night.. I was heart broken.... I went to see Livingston in Berkeley one night and James showed up. After the show I was walking with Liv to his car, carrying his guitar for him, James came up behind me, grabbed the guitar out of my hand, looked at Liv and yelled at him "LET"S GO!!" Guess he was havin a bad nite. I was blown away becuase I never in the world ever thought HE, of all people could ever be rude to ANYONE.. Anyway, would love to hear the whole story...

Got tons of pictures, it was so fascinating being a child, a young child, in the 80s and being able to run onto Willies bus while dad was runnin the show and Willie was performing. Full roam of the place! Getting lost and crying and some random nice lady (who ends up being Dolly Parton!) Takes me back to her bus till dads done workin. Countless great musicians. Got pictures of Willie, Reba, Smokey Robinson and a few others holding me as a new born. Too. Ill post em! J.T. was super introverted my father said. Anyway i want these pictures now. Lol got some just gems.

Mr McGoo you know what, my pops woukd say from time to time he wouldnt even let the band in his van, he would demand certain things from center stage to provide for him to play at that venue, but i would like to hope he was having a bad night, he struggled with heroin addiction for so many decades even after he cleaned up in the early 80s he would go back on it. the whole album but specifically the song, Mud Slide Slim, thats all about his struggle trying to beat his addiction to heroin. im so sorry your one experience wasnt a great one. My childhood hero joe montana was rude to me at a game when i was a child and i cried of course lol and my mom didnt even know who he was she was screaming at him threw her drink at him as he was walking to the locker room lol. but it was such a realization at like 10 that like wow, this hero of mine kinda sucked just now, what a dick. is the mentality u walk away with :( J.T. is a great man tho! sucks that was your experience but i hope you are still a fan of his!

so beautifullll;;;;;;;;;

Thank you for being my friend all these decades (Mr. Taylor)

MR. Taylor has a groove on that is unmatched!

Kerry Charles Masterson listen to Jack Jones sing this song, incredible!

grandeee....

I can still sing it by heart, after all this time. Not a hit, not a single, but a personal favorite.

me too....since about 1981

This album came out in 1975, the BEST on this album

I'm coming undone LPs and passing everything to MP3. Thanks for posting this song

i never liked JT , but now that i'm gronw up  i can understand , respect & apreciate  his talent..

Thanks, I didn't know this song before.,. lovely waltz.

This song is really about "a husband tempted to be unfaithful." See the interview with Mr. Taylor, in "Written in My Soul" by Bill Flanagan.

You might say it's a warning to stay out of dangerous situations, if a guy values his marriage, that is.

I bought the book translated in japanese over 30 years ago.

LADIES I GOT U ALL BEAT..LOL..SWEET BABY JAMES WAS MY VERY FIRST ALBUM....HAVE FOLLOWEDE JAMES AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY SINCE I WAS ABOUT 4TH GRADE...TO TOP THAT MY TWO SONS MIDDLE NAMES ARE JAMES AND TAYLOR.......:)

My brother bougth this cassette,IN THE POCKET, and like you a love all of it, taylor is one of my favoritys singer,

Wish I could have been there! I could listen to JT all night long....still do!

me too!

You wellcome :)

I've carried on a love affair with JT since I was 17 years old! Now my love is balding and I'm a grandma, but my husband knows that if I ever happen to run to JT; all bets are off!!

😂 just like my mom. She raised me on this man. Could sing almost his entire catalogue.

One of my faves of JT's songs...I especially loved his "lesser-known" stuff, like this little gem.

Yes, I agree. A lot of his lesser-known stuff is terrific, and might surprise people who only know his greatest hits.

Wonderful track with fabulous late 70s early 80s memories that I'll hold dear forever x alisonprov1 - I sure am a girl!

JT, if you ever read this, I'd die of embarrassment...but this song is a pleasure to hear "and it's probably a good thing that we don't know each other" NOTE: I'm the only female commenting on this song. Go ahead and 'fess up, ladies! :-)

So smooth!!!

JT was always smooth and on time with his lyrics, and music. Glad to know he's still putting out music!

One of my favorite JTR songs.

here here ntimacy I say thank you lord, for the beauty of a women!!!!!!!!!!!!!
