How Easy It Would Be

How Easy It Would Be

If you could catch the sun in a net
You could light your way through life and yet
You can't stop the night from coming in
Darkening all you have ever been

HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
To keep your light from me
But could you really see?
Oh...

Chorus:
You can't stop the wind from blowing
You can't stop my love from showing
HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
You can't stop the world from turning
You can't stop my love from burning
It clears a path when your light fades
To pick you up and show you on your way

If you could catch the ocean in a bowl
You'd find more treasures than you could ever know
But you can't stop the storm from coming down
The wind and rain striking you all around

HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
To hide safe in the sea
But could you forget me?
Oh...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
If you could own the mountains
If you could own the sky
Would you still be lonely?
Would you be asking why?
And if you catch the lightning
If you could count the stars
Would you be calling for me?
Wondering where you are?

(Guitar and piano duet)

(Chorus twice)

It shines bright to let you see
To light your path and bring you home to me
