Tom Paxton - It Ain't Easy Lyrics

Everywhere I looked this morning
You were on my mind
Sometimes we have moments
When good news is hard to find
No one knows exactly
What another’s going through
But singing you these simple words
ls one thing I can do
Though it ain't easy
It ain't easy
The living and the loving
Are no easy things to do
It ain’t easy
It ain't easy
And that’s why I want to be a friend
For you
I know you lost something
That you loved with all your heart
I know how the grieving
Feels like tearing you apart
Just remember something
That might ease you through the pain
There are those who’ll carry you
Until you’re whole again
Though it ain't easy
It ain't easy
The living and the loving
Are no easy things to do
It ain’t easy
It ain't easy
That’s why I wanna be a friend
For you
Only you can understand
The load you have to bear
All a friend can offer
Is to try to take a share
Friends are all we have
And I just want to help you see
However hard it gets for you
You have that friend in me
Though it ain't easy
Though it ain't easy
The living and the loving
Are no easy things to do
It ain’t easy
It ain't easy
That’s why I wanna be a friend
For you
That’s why I wanna be a friend
For you
