Don'T Take Her For Granted
Easier Than Loving Me
You could steal a star out of the sky
make rain fall upside down.
Or sit yourself in a corner
in a building that's built round.
You can rope your own tornado
or walk across the sea.
You could dig a hole to China
easier than loving me.
Something strange about me
nobody wants to stay.
They're all gone tomorrow
that's standing here today.
Count grains of sand out by the shore
eat ice cream in the sun.
Stand alone against an army
live your life without someone.
Make your way to heaven
without taxes, without dying.
Or be the best in this whole world
when you weren't even trying.
Force your dreams to all come true
even those not meant to be.
Or tame an alligator
easier than loving me.
Edwin C Hofert
